"A Virus Knows No Morals"
1985
Directed by Rosa von Praunheim
A black comedy filled
with the worst fears, a savagely funny burlesque on the AIDS crisis, irreverent yet deadly
serious. Nurses on the night shift roll dice to see which AIDS patient will die next. An
epidemic victim is harassed by a reporter on his death bed--he sticks her with a
contaminated syringe. The government opens a quarantine called Hell Gay Land. Gay
terrorists capture the Minister of Health. An outrageous and yet extremely honest film by
von Praunheim, this controversial film shook West Germany. German with English subtitles.
82 minutes. |
