Nexxt: Frau Plastic Chicken Show (2001)

Synopsis of Nexxt: Frau Plastic Chicken Show

The media's fascination with criminals, and their desire to cloak sensationalism in the guise of informing the public, goes under the knife in this bizarre satiric comedy. Frau Plastic Chicken (Dorottya Udvaros) is the host of a popular television show called Nexxt, which serves up a variety of deviant behavior for the amusement of her viewing audience. While the hostess has arranged for a live broadcast of the arrest of Rex Madison (Viktor Bodo), a notorious multiple murderer, Frau Plastic Chicken wants something even splashier for her audience, so she schedules a post-arrest interview spot, in which Madison will discuss his crimes with Alexander Grushkin (Zoltan Mucsi), a man who claims to have been the inspiration for the character of Alex in the novel A Clockwork Orange. Since Grushkin is a good bit more serene these days than he was in his youth, Frau Plastic Chicken decides to first take him on a trip down memory lane, recreating the notorious "Ludovico Treatment" by strapping him to a chair and showing him sickening films of two women being beaten and murdered. Nexxt: Frau Plastic Chicken Show was produced in tandem with a stage adaptation of the same material, which opened around the same time the film began appearing at international film festivals. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
