Eccentricity, vulgarity, manipulation of reality and antirealism are typically associated with the work of Bertrand Mandico. The French filmmaker, influenced by Federico Fellini for his tendency towards artificial décors and unnaturalism, but also by a darker cinema and a desire to cross the borders of “tastefulness”, presents in "Ultra Pulpe" an orgiastic celebration of the most transgressive B movies. The film takes place in a studio where pulp movies are shot, and not by chance the central character, Joy d'Amato, is named after Italian sexploitation master Joe d'Amato, creator of films such as "Emanuelle and gli ultimi cannibali" or "La via della prostituzione". In this meta-cinematographic plot, where one can switch between an erotic movie and a horror film and then to a post-apocalyptic science fiction film without any apparent logic, Mandico pushes his love for film and artificiality over the edge that “tastefulness” forgot. As a result, "Ultra Pulpe" displays a ravishing variety of styles and a delirious outburst of colours, where each image seems tainted by a decadent eighties aesthetics, highlighted by retro electronic music. Bertrand Mandico won Curtas Vila do Conde's Grand Prix in 2011, with the film "Boro In the Box". (MD)
