“Only the optimist commits suicide, optimists who no longer succeed at being optimists.” The Emil Cioran line, introduced in the first scene of Sebastián Silva’s morbid black comedy “,” initially feels like the key to understanding the Chilean filmmaker’s latest endeavor.
It’s in Zicateca where he first meets Jordan — not so much at the beach where Silva and camera alike cannot help but be distracted by the full-frontal male nudity, but at the ocean, where Jordan is flailing about and almost drowning.
With a premise that turns on itself given its metafictional conceit , “Rotting in the Sun” has plenty in its head. A philosopher’s take on optimism and mortality, after all, opens the film. And even while it flirts with more grounded themes — including the international gentrification of Mexico City, gay male promiscuity and the latent class warfare between the likes of Vero and Silva’s friends and colleagues — the film seems to mostly set the table for interesting discussions.
