It's DER TODESKING (English title: THE DEATH KING) from Jorg Buttgereit.
Feel free to watch it here.
DER TODESKING is a bleak film. Not one of those great "invite you buddies over because this movie will make them feel nice" kind of films. Not exactly.
It consists of short stories, one for each day of the week that concerns a violent death or suicide. I won't bother going into details about each day. That would spoil the film. But you get the full deal here. Each segment is divided by this.
A body that slowly rots away during the course of the film. Tasty stuff.
As of now, DER TODESKING has not gotten a DVD release here in the States although it did receive a VHS distribution under Film Threat Video during the 1990s. As such, this might be your best way to see Buttgereit's depressing movie.
