Let the Corpses Tan

Laissez les corpsed bronzer

A delightful adventure horror film about a typical Mediterranean summer: blue sea, blazing sun... and 250 kg of gold stolen by Rhino and his gang! They had found the perfect hideout: an abandoned and remote hamlet now taken over by a woman artist in search for inspiration. Unfortunately, surprise guests and two cops compromise their plan: the heavenly place, where wild happenings and orgies used to take place, turns into a gruesome battlefield...

Hélène Cattet

Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani directed Amer in 2009 and The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears in 2012 – a feminine/masculine diptych on desire after several short movies that they had mostly produced by themselves. They were also among the 26 directors from around the world contributing to the anthology feature ABCs of Death (2012) with their highly erotic segment O Is for Orgasm. In 2016 they directed Let the Corpses Tan, reuniting with the producers Eve Commenge and François Cognard. Their third feature film is based on the novel with the same title by cult authors Jean-Patrick Manchette and Jean-Pierre Bastid that the directors discovered more than ten years ago and always dreamed of adapting for the big screen… a dream come true!
