The American hit of the recent Rotterdam Film Festival, first-time filmmaker Mark Editz tells a modern-day almost-horror story in the most disarmingly straightforward, matter-of-fact way (think pre-stoning in Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery). A family reunion of pale, phlegmatic types (why does a son agree so readily to his dad’s choice of an appropriate bride?) climaxes with revelations which remind of H.G. Wells’ evil Dr. Moreau. We can’t tell you more.
