Carlos (Marcel Mars) is driven into despair as he hears voices in his
head that predict doom, and make him puke pretty much constantly. His
doctor (Marcel Mars again) is of little assistance, as all he does is to
lure him to the titular island of vomit and despair, Pazucus. But secretly
the doctor also wants to kill him - and has frequent attacks of insanity
that make him kill ... just whoever it is really. He also has sent two
other people to Pazucus, lovers Omar (Gurcius Gewdner) and Oréstia
(Priscilla Menezes), whom he forces to camp there for the rest of their
lives - and they soon run into troubles of the weird sort. Now what
really complicates the matter is that the voices in Carlos's head are
really monsters from another dimension who want to enter our world through
his head. But it might be that that's only what the voices tell Carlos,
and maybe his doctor and Omar and Oréstia are also only manifestations of
his madness - but whichever's the truth, the result can only be utter
chaos ... Pretty much a continuation from director Gurcius
Gewdner's earlier film Good
Morning Carlos, Pazucus: Island of Vomit and Despair shares
that movie's characters of Carlos and the doctor and its predilection for
puking, but takes its nonsensical and utter insane approach to
storytelling even further. As a result, this movie has little relation to
reality, and to really dig into its absurd and surreal story full of
bodily fluids, gross-out scenes but also weird references to monster
movies, 80s pop music and the like, one really has to abandon both reason
and "good" taste at the door - so in a word, the film is not for
everyone and needs an open mind and also a good stomach - but if you can
muster these, you'll probably be able to find quite a bit to like and
laugh about here ...
