Nullo

In Marco Ferreri’s THE LAST WOMAN (1976), Gérard Depardieu removed his penis with an electric carving knife and then cried over the lack of any evidently revolutionary result. No such tears for Norbert in NULLO, who lounges naked and contentedly tells director Jan Soldat why and how, over a period of six years, he removed his male genitalia. Norbert did not want to take the transsexual step of becoming a woman, but he achieved his own way of being a different kind of gay man. Soldat’s filmed portrait is steady, unadorned, direct. And don’t miss the (literal) climax! (Adrian Martin)

In the presence of Jan Soldat.
