Doppelherz (film)

Doppelherz is a twenty-five minute short film directed by Marilyn Manson in 2003, using music composed years prior, in 2001. The name Doppelherz is German for "double-heart". The DVD comes with the original pressings of Marilyn Manson's 2003 album, The Golden Age of Grotesque, released on May 13, 2003. This pressing of the album is now out-of-print, and the film has yet to see standalone release.

Doppelherz A film about the Golden Age of Grotesque, created during the making of this album, and birth of a new era for its creator. The audio recording that accompanies this took place on April 1st, 2001, and remains in its entirety.

This is thought by many to be the most rare look into the mind of the person we know as Marilyn Manson. It is also believed (but will not be confirmed or denied by Manson) that these words were intended to be his last, meant only for those who were listening... particularly his beloved feline familiar Lily White.

The film offers no explanation, nor needs one. Many thanks to those who helped make this, the beginning, not an end, to the most amazing era of Marilyn Manson. The artists and friends who were involved enough to be mentioned are as follows, in no particular order: Gottfried Helnwein, Dita Von Teese, Tim Skold, Nicole, Benjamin Palmer, Marilyn Manson, M.W. Gacy, John 5, Ginger Fish, Charles Koutris, Aria Giovanni, Brittany Bowen, Cyril Helnwein, Amy Coulter, Hugh Warner, Paul L. Chun, J.T. Harding.

Art Director: Nicole, Gottfried Helnwein, Editing and primary director of photography: Benjamin at the Barbarian Group, Seconds Camera: Charles Koutris
