That is what it is about

Things are not going well in Dezzy's life. The young artist hasn't delivered any art for ages, which of course doesn't please her agent. He has already sold her next masterpiece to a gallery. When she suddenly finds herself alone, things get tight for her... A piece of fabric like this can sometimes help her get over a bad day. When she crawls out of her trip, she sees herself a bit closer to her art and is hungry for more - more fabric, more creativity and more blood!

What you should know

Holy Shit! What was Joe Begos up to when he made BLISS? Yes, we know the "Madman" as a friend of hard genre fare, who can provide a lot of fun in genre circles with a lot of winking... But what Begos unleashes here is out of this world. An insane trip in neon lights and blood. This besmirching masterpiece is an immersive monster! Almost as if Panos Cosmatos and Gaspar Noé had remade THE DEVILS CANDY together. But beware: BLISS is a splitter!

Direction

When Joe Begos made his low-budget feature film debut in 2013 with ALMOST HUMAN, no one could have guessed that the director nicknamed "Madman" would go completely nuts a few years later. Genius and madness lie close together, they say. That probably hits the mark with Begos. He always spices his films with a pinch - no, load - of punk, metal and hardcore. Yes, that also hits the mark: Begos' films are the cinematic realisation of these musical styles... There's more to come.
Bliss, Director
