#SesionesDelMacabro presents the "Trash" trilogy by Alejo Rébora

Dear Macabrxs

welcome to the sixth episode of Sesiones del Macabro, a virtual space created to bring us closer to horror creators and their works. Each week we will publish in this space a short conversation and the presentation of a short film/feature film that has been part of Macabro's line-up.

This week we bring you the conversation with Alejo Rébora, director and coordinator of the "La Sarna" Collective, to present his deranged "Trash" trilogy in conversation with our own macabro, Alan Huerta. Enjoy it!

Here you can watch the conversation:

And here is the "Trash" trilogy with all the information. Available for free on YouTube until July 10.

TRASH

Director: Alejo Rébora

2010 | 70 min | Argentina

Cast: Nacho Bruno, Leticia Salorio, Maxi Carrasco.

Synopsis: Ansio Bruselas must overcome the phobia that keeps him imprisoned and safe in his orderly, comfortable home, faced with the very real possibility that his sister's breasts will be amputated with a tool as unsubtle as a handsaw.

The task doesn't seem difficult: find a box of mysterious contents and deliver it to where Ana Ele is being held captive. He just has to try to get there as fast as possible, with the box and its contents intact.

However, Ansio's innocent curiosity will turn the simple task into an endless string of strange, incoherent events.

Because reality is reality until it isn't, you know?

TRASH DOS: las tetas de ANA L.

Director: Alejo Rébora

Argentina | 88 min. | 2013

Cast: Leticia Salorio, Facundo Linares, Darío Estelrich, Alfredo Sánchez

The day after landing her brother in the second-worst trouble of his life, Ana Ele Bruselas escapes her mobster captors, unable to bring along the severed breasts owed as payment for a certain box of illegal contents not delivered on time* Unfortunately for everyone else, Ana Ele won't rest until she recovers her precious breasts: the city will tremble as the brutish Bruselas advances in her raw, random mammary investigation, breaking bones and kicking teeth on her way to the perverse Mr. Gatrachele, the brain behind the whole shady organ-trafficking network that pervades the streets. Drugs, sex, and violence in a succession of frenzied madness ranging from unbalanced taxi drivers to steroid-crazed skinheads, from unscrupulous abortionists to sperm tasters, from crooks, whores, and cock-suckers to the pursuit of happiness through chemical means.

TR3SH: la concha de su madre

Director: Alejo Rébora

Argentina | 75 min | 2019

Cast: Pachi Laurino, Ignacio Bruno, Leticia Salorio, Isabel Rinaldi, Victoria Sarchi

Synopsis: Mamá Bruselas senses that something is wrong with her children. Maybe it's the drugs, or maybe it's her maternal instinct—she just knows that Ansio and Ana need her and there's no time to lose. Riding her speedy nurse-powered wheelchair, the Bruselas matriarch sets out to find her children, and to do so she'll have to rediscover her past by traveling through a psychotropic spiral of memories in a rather unconventional way. How fragile is reality? Can the past be changed?

The streets of TR3SH fill with more dangerous, more destructive drugs. With murkier, more unrestrained urban specimens, with fanaticisms taken to the extreme of science fiction; organ trafficking reaches new heights, old characters return hungry for morbid revenge, and the action leads into a labyrinth within a labyrinth within a labyrinth… all to reach—once again—Gatrachele, who this time will make his masterstroke, revealing his darkest secrets.

In this controversial third installment of underground cinema's boldest, most vertiginous, scatological, and controversial saga, all the loose ends come together and, just two days after it all began, an unprecedented epic finale looms on the horizon.
