Orozco the Embalmer

About This Movie

Orozco the Embalmer is a raw dive into the macabre, where Tsurisaki’s lens captures the grim reality of death in the streets of Bogota. It’s not just about embalming; it’s an exploration of mortality through the eyes of Froilan Orozco, who is both an artist and a caretaker of the deceased. The atmosphere is haunting, with a pacing that feels almost suffocating, as Tsurisaki doesn’t shy away from gore or the grim details. The practical effects and the stark visuals make it stand out, drawing you into a world that’s unsettling yet eerily compelling. It's a document of a life that many wish to ignore, and Orozco's strangely poetic conversations about death linger long after the credits roll.
