| Brief Description: |
Directed by "a neo-Fassbinderian taxonomist of freak-show love" (Village Voice), Matteo Garrone's follow-up to The Embalmer is a chillingly offbeat tale of corporeal desire. When Vittorio, a goldsmith, meets the sweet and intelligent Sonia, he immediately sets out to shape her body and mind in the manner of the gold that he smelts. The lovers hole up in an abandoned house in the Italian countryside, where their intense sadomasochistic games take on a surreal dimension. "Black, creepy unsettlingly elegant" (TV Guide). In Italian with English subtitles. |
