The Masochists is a dramatic look at obsession, an examination of isolation, and a eulogy for three people slowly crushing everything good out of their lives. |

“Passing Out”, the first story in The Masochists, delves into the torturous world of adolescent pecking orders in which a boy is forced into an act of self-humiliation. The simultaneous destructive and redemptive quality of music-making in “U.V.Katastrophe” follows the central character on his journey out of an artistic dead-end and into his redemption, through a surreal rock concert. The rhythms of “5/4″ are made up of the beats of compulsion self-mutilation and the very short distance between art and obsession. |

The Masochists, an unflinching look at human behavior, will sit well with those intrigued by the early humanist dramas of Fellini or Kurosawa. |
