NIИ | Broken Movie | Directed by Peter Christopherson | 1993 | Never officially released in physical format | Nothing/Interscope Records

"snuff film" framing sequences edit

The movie also includes a copyright notice saying "1993 © Interscope Records", implying that the movie, at some point, was meant for an actual release.

Peter Christopherson on the film:

“I think that does humanity a disservice because that suggests that you can be horrible and it’s a joke, whereas with what I’m trying to do, if it’s addressing the issue of man’s cruelty to man, there’s no doubt that my intention is to point out how appalling those things are, and what they look like for real. I don’t know what the statistic is of how many people get killed on American TV every second but it’s something horrendous. But because all of those deaths are shown in a plastic way, they don’t prepare people for what death is really like. Really, people in the West have no clue about the reality of death.”
