The Wanker

About This Movie

So, 'The Wanker' is certainly a peculiar entry in the 2020 film landscape. It revolves around a Viennese character who, well, indulges in his own fantasies while in a rather isolated state. The pacing is almost hypnotic, as the wanker's monologues weave through his thoughts - dirty yet oddly introspective. It's not really the kind of film that relies on flashy effects, but the rawness of the performances gives it a unique flavor. The atmosphere is both unsettling and strangely contemplative, tapping into themes of loneliness and desire. What makes it distinctive? It's unapologetically honest in its depiction of sexual obsession, making you think about what's behind closed doors.

This film has a very limited presence in collector circles, likely due to its controversial subject matter and the unknown director. It has only seen niche releases, primarily in the festival circuit, and is often discussed for its candid portrayal of sexual themes. As such, it’s garnered some attention among collectors interested in underground cinema, but finding a copy might require some hunting.
