There is a terrible evil abroad in the world. Evil rooted in greed and obsession. Sometimes that evil hits close to home, striking the people closest to us. Revulsion is the story of that evil and one woman’s struggle to overcome it. Greed is a legacy of the human race. Greed was with us in the garden of Eden. And greed helped us progress from simple cave dwellers to become the sophisticated inhabitants of vast metropolei that cover much of the earth's surface, glistening in the night under the starry abyss. But greed threatens the very fabric of our society, pitting one person's wants against another's needs, from Wall Street to Main Street. Greed, in the guise of competitiveness and drive, propels the A-type individual who reaches for the heavens and finds it almost within his grasp. And greed is the depravity that crushes those around us and drives love and compassion from the atmosphere we breathe. All too often, anger and violence fill the chasm that greed creates. We live in a world where these potent forces ebb and flow around and within us. They help churn the machinery of progress. But left unchecked, where do they lead? Revulsion is the story of an individual who must stand against greed and obsession, who must find the courage and the conviction to do what is right. Rachel must steer a new course, a course of compassion, humility, love and self sacrifice. But to do so she must first overcome her own obsession and fear. To date, the films I have made create strangely familiar but misplaced landscapes in which individuals fall prey to powerful compulsions that threaten to overwhelm them. In the same vein, Revulsion presents to the audience a university campus where dreams are born and a shared sense of humanity and idealism is fostered. But where, concurrently, greed and violence writhe and boil just beneath the polished skin. In Revulsion, this greed leads to violence that finds expression in a genetically mutated tapeworm that reaches up out of the sewers and kills with ferocious intensity. Rachel must confront head-on this creature that cannot be stopped. Byron Lamarque
