The Coffee Table is one of the most talked about movies of the last year on the festival circuit - but you are only as good as your last movie. Director Caye Casas has moved on to his next project - the Great Lucifer Show - in which game show host Lucifer pits contestants against one another in contests that would make the producers of Takeshi's Castle scream in horror.
“The plot centers on the eccentric Luciferio, a game show host who pits contestants against each other in over-the-top trials to appease a rapt audience. As the show progresses, the games grow more barbaric as the adulation for the savage host drives increasing fury. What are we capable of doing for money? We all have a price according to our personality, our circumstances and our ambitions. We wanted to create a fun, cruel, macabre and spectacular story that played with this concept, with the idea of what our price truly is. We wanted to ensure that those who saw The Coffee Table would never forget it. The same thing will happen with El Show del Gran Luciferio; they’ll enjoy it and suffer from it, but they’ll never be able to forget it. I promise you."
So what about you - do you hunger for the games?
