Egomania: Island Without Hope (1987)
Egomania is a visually stunning end-of-the-world melodrama about lust, jealousy and murder set amidst solar eclipses, orchestral chants and the distant thunder of the boiling sea. The films characters riddled with unconscious desires find themselves imprisoned on an island. Drawing parallels to the work of British filmmaker Derek Jarman and staring Jarmans actress-muse Tilda Swinton, Schlingensiefs raw and almost mythological film stands in contrast to his more offensive efforts.
