A controversial poet and musician and founder of Christian Death, Rozz Williams is one of goth rock’s emblematic figures and remains a source of inspiration, both artistically and identity wise, for all those who identify with his music and his freedom to be himself. His suicide at the age of 34 intensified a cult following still vibrant today. This is his portrait and his story, told by those who were close to him, his collaborators and friends.
25 years after Rozz’s death, Nico B. founder of Cult Videotheek and Cult Epics, dedicates a film to the man who has been one of his closest friends from the early 80s until his death in 1998. Beyond the anecdotes, the info and the painting of an era, Nico B. looks for closure after his friend’s passing through this declaration of love, a moving ode to a tragic poet.

This incredible surrealistic journey with its fantasmatic disturbing visions and evasions follows the ordeal of a young man, abducted and tortured by a psychopath wearing a pig mask and played by Rozz Williams himself.
His last contribution prior to his death that same year. Cult and still insane.
