Marked

1984 · 48 min

A chilly, dreamlike descent through a hostile city, unsettling rather than scary, and quietly sad.

Starring
Eero Melasniemi, Satu Silvo, Georg Dolivo
Overview
Irma Auer (Satu Silvo) is a former call-girl, trying to distance herself from the past. In a séance she is told to be 'marked for death', and is afterward threatened by her former pimp and abandoned by her groom, as he learns about her past. Irma attempts to commit suicide, and resurrects at the city morgue after being pronounced dead. After the incident, she wanders out direction-less, being pursued by the doctor who treated her and also a strange, tall man.
