MUBI presents ROTTING IN THE SUN: Canadian Premiere!
Chilean writer-director Sebastián Silva hilariously turns the camera on himself in the Sundance hit Rotting In The Sun, his fresh and fun meta-comedy that skewers the business of filmmaking and our self-obsessed culture.
Depressed, doom-scrolling and downing absurd amounts of Ketamine, director Sebastián Silva takes a much-needed break from Mexico City to unwind at a gay beach town. There, he encounters gregarious Instagram influencer Jordan Firstman (also playing a derisive version of himself), and Sebastián reluctantly agrees to collaborate on an upcoming project. But when Jordan arrives in Mexico City to get to work on their project, Sebastián is nowhere to be found and his skittish housekeeper Vera (past Silva collaborator, Catalina Saavedra) seems to know more than she’s letting on.
Darkly funny and refreshingly audacious, Rotting In The Sun is a wildly unconventional quasi- detective story from a master of cringe comedy, produced in collaboration with Robert Pattinson’s Robert Pattinson’s production company Icki Eneo.
