Vermilion Eyes (1990)

Obsessed with sex and death a man is haunted by visions of beautiful women and brutal violence He begins an odyssey into a world which in his mind transforms into an array of sexual fantasies and images of horrible accidents suicide and murder Like a bird of prey he seeks out fatal automobile crashes and an assortment of other tragedies which he records on film with a movie camera to view repeatedly over and over His dreams are a twisted amalgam of violent images juxtaposed with the tenderness of lovemaking Overwhelmed by such fantasies he soon becomes unable to distinguish reality from fantasy He seeks to rid himself of these disturbing thoughts through love and by understanding the true nature of man Instead his emotional state falters becoming more attuned with the notion of selfdestruction Morality becomes only a literary flourish and dreams now prophetic nightmares the harbingers of complete and utter annihilation
