Rotting in the Sun

Directed by Sebastián Silva

Sebastián Silva is detached from life, struggling to succeed in the art world and habitually taking ketamine. When he meets social media influencer Jordan Firstman at a nudist beach, the two discuss collaborating, but fate has other plans.
Rotting in the Sun is a filthy, self-lacerating dark comedy that turns gay hookup culture, artistic narcissism and accidental death into something both outrageous and oddly perceptive. Sebastián Silva and Jordan Firstman play exaggerated versions of themselves, and the film’s abrasiveness is very much the point.
