About Peter Kowalski
NEKRomantik 2 is 1991 German horror/splatter film directed by Jörg Buttgereit and a sequel of his 1987 film Nekromantik. The film about necrophilia, was quite controversial and was seized by authorities in Munich 12 days after its release, an action that had no precedent in Germany since the Nazi era. Today, it is regarded as a cult classic. The soundtrack, by Hermann Kopp, Daktari Lorenz, John Boy Walton, and PETER KOWALSKI, is neither ironic nor campy, but rather is intended to generate genuine emotional response. The serious intent of the film in general is made clear in an interview in which Buttgereit discusses an audition in which actors performed the love scene with Rob's corpse: "Though they were all quite willing, none of them took it as seriously as we did." Furthermore, although he is commenting on the soundtrack to the original Nekromantik, Christian Keßler's observations about that film's soundtrack resonate in the context of the second film as well: "The excellent soundtrack by Lorenz, Hermann Kopp, and John Boy Walton accentuates this [Rob's unusual, charnel domestic circumstances] with a romantic leitmotif composed for a single piano that makes the gruesome environment seem like a protective case, shielding Robert from the reality that so torments him."
