Pepperminta

Pepperminta is an anarchist of the imagination. She lives in a futuristic rainbow villa and according to her own rules. Colors are the young woman’s best friends and strawberries are her pets. She knows the most amazing remedies to free people of their fears. Pepperminta’s wish is for everyone to see the world in her favorite colors. Werwen, a young plump and shy man yet whose sex appeal Pepperminta finds highly attractive, and the beautiful Edna, who talks to tulips, join her on her passionate mission. These three musketeers of a different kind set out to fight for a more humane world. Wherever the gang appears, everything is turned upside down and people’s lives are transformed in the most miraculous and wondrous of ways. The feature debut by the Swiss video artist Pipilotti Rist is an example of idiosyncratic cinema, a hallucinogenic trip in which she throws all the laws of nature overboard. PEPPERMINTA is a psychedelic colour explosion full of strange camera angles and anarchic incursions. The playful Pepperminta wants to liberate people from their fears and make the world a more human place. Rotterdam FF
