NEKRomantik is a 1987 German horror film directed by Jörg Buttgereit. This frequently controversial movie (i.e. banned in Great Britain) has become a cult film over the years due to its transgressive subject matter (necrophilia) and audacious imagery. A documentary, Corpse Fucking Art, which used footage shot during the making of the film, was also released in 1987.

Tagline: Death is just the beginning

The story is about Rob (Daktari Lorenz) and his girlfriend (Beatrice Manowski) who share the same interest: corpses. Rob works in Joe’s Street-Cleaning Agency, which removes dead bodies from the street. This job gives Rob the chance to bring the corpses to his home where he and his girlfriend have sex with them. Not everything goes well and Rob is fired from his job and rejected by his girlfriend; things go downhill from there.

An example of the movie's "audacious imagery" is in one of the last scenes, in which Rob is seen ejaculating while killing himself with a knife.

The film has spawned a sequel, NEKRomantik II, by the same director.
