Thriller The Mediterranean summer: blue sea, blazing sun....and 250 kg of gold stolen by Rhino and his gang! They had found the perfect hideout: an abandoned and remote hamlet now taken over by a woman artist in search for inspiration. Unfortunately surprise guests and two cops compromise their plan: the heavenly place where wild happenings and orgies used to take place turns into a gruesome battlefield....Relentless and mindblowing.

	Media	Author	Review
		Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"The result is a spectacularly assaultive, borderline incoherent neo-Western that will recruit few new converts but is also guaranteed to leave no spectator indifferent."
		Allan Hunter Screendaily	"Another meticulously executed, obsessively stylised exercise in genre worship that quickly becomes overpowering (...) The craftsmanship (...) is flawless (...) After a while, though, it does start to ring hollow."
		Dennis Harvey Variety	"Cattet and Forzani’s movies are remarkable feats of dedication and detail, yet the nagging questions 'What’s the function? What’s the point?' will continue to divide viewers."
		Katie Rife AV Club	"'Let The Corpses Tan' is fetishistic, kaleidoscopic, and obsessed with the intersection between sex and death."
		Chuck Bowen Slant	"[Cattet and Forzani] lose grasp of the snap and tension that drive even a mediocre heist narrative (...) The film's desert setting is memorably beautiful and punishing (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		David Fear Rolling Stone	"This is the closest [the directors] have come to actually attaching their aesthetic to a genuine story"
