The wild bunch, bold cinematic rebels and adventurous films
POLAND | 109 minutes | 2018
A bus full of young adults stops on a lonely road. They’re off to work in what appears to be a strange hotel. But is that really where they’re going? Whatever the case, it becomes all too clear that work is not, in fact, very good for you at all. The hellish passage of a group of young people through an elusive, spectral world where nothing is as it seems makes for one very disquieting chiller. Proof that genre cinema is today reinventing itself with panache in Poland and that director Jagoda Szelc is one of its rising stars.CANADIAN PREMIEREIn collaboration with FTA." ... a powerful visual poem, a fascinatingly misanthropic excavation of socialisation and group mentality." The Movie Waffler"Stunning ... a wonderfully mordant, meta reflection on the creative process and the end of studies to which the film itself is the monument." Pop Matters"...provides menace and rewards patience." Screen Anarchy« ... une atmosphère étrange et suffocante digne des meilleurs films d’horreur. ... l’expérience cinématographique globale est exquise. » Panorama-Cinema
