Why this pick
Its fluorescent, theatrical nightmare-world and aggressively artificial eroticism echo Singapore Sling’s blend of black comedy, psychosexual extremity, and delirious visual design.
Why this pick
A feverish relationship breakdown rendered through operatic performances, bodily horror, and escalating unreality—similarly intense, unstable, and darkly funny at the edges.
Why this pick
Nikolaidis’s earlier nocturnal vision shares the same stylised decay, fatalistic romanticism, fractured noir mood, and fascination with people living outside ordinary reality.
Why this pick
It approaches erotic role-play as a stylised private ritual, with ornate interiors, dry humour, and a hypnotic atmosphere; gentler in tone but comparably obsessive.
Why this pick
A fragmented, sensual maze of noir and giallo references, built from fetishistic surfaces, disorienting repetition, and dream-logic rather than conventional explanation.

01 / THE STORY
Two mentally ill women who are clearly suffering from not otherwise specified delusional disorders, a mother and a (grown) daughter, live together in a secluded mansion. They are in a relationship and both are recognised for their beauty. They spend their days playing perverse BDSM-related incestuous games in memory of their Sadomasochism patriarch who, when he was still alive, raped his daughter when she was eleven, murdered several servants, and is now a mummified corpse with which the daughter is shown having sex. They occasionally kill their servants and bury their bodies in the garden.
