About

'Reality in Egomania is cold and desolate and infused with an apocalyptic sense of futility and hopelessness — not unlike much West German culture of the mid-1980s.' DAH

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 film's characters — riddled with unconscious desires —find themselves imprisoned on an island. Drawing parallels to the work of British filmmaker Derek Jarman and staring Jarman's actress-muse Tilda Swinton, Schlingensief's raw and almost mythological film stands in contrast to his more offensive efforts.
