Goyo Anchou – director – Heterophobia

Through HETEROPHOBIA, Goyo Anchou creates a compelling and astounding, even quite demanding, film that looks like an underground movie of the seventies – but if it is much more than that.

You have to absorb many layers of information, from the off voice poetry to the live action to the colors and post production effects that create a dense and intense manifesto of free love and manly love, but against any form of machismo. He has assertive ideals and ideas, that he clearly tells us in this interview.

HERETOPHOBIA: Mariano is a young gay man who is attracted to a heterosexual friend, who rapes and then abandons him. For Mariano, this is the beginning of a slow descent into hell, a sentimental journey with dramatic consequences. The hate and repulsion around him make his condition even more unbearable: initially afflicted by painful guilty feelings, he is soon pervaded by a strong desire for redemption, with a messianic aftermath. In a roller coaster of emotions which plunge him into a parallel, horrific and psychedelic universe, dominated by rage and a desire for revenge, Mariano senses that only castration can save him. But, at the end of this personal Calvary, he understands that there is only one solution: to take part in the revolution against the patriarchy which underpins our society.
