ROTTEN FLOWERS ORIGINAL TITLE:UKRUDT

Dir: Kaspar Juhl/Denmark/2022/94 min/In Danish with English subtitles/Content warning: sexual violence and suicide theme

WHEN TOUGH NORA (MIE GREEN)

decides to send her sensitive sister, Rose (Josefine Lindegaard), a suicide video, her sister invites her on a healing trip to a remote forest. But what Rose doesn’t know is that Nora has another, far more disturbing, agenda with the trip, and soon both sisters are mercilessly haunted by their past. In this harrowing and ruinous study of trauma and self-loathing, revenge is not just a dish best served cold, it is an icy, poisoned chalice, consumed by the vengeful one. With the kind of delicately sustained tension and superbly naturalistic performances reminiscent of Nicolas Winding Refn’s PUSHER trilogy, director Juhl (with co-writer Green) has created an unforgettable, extraordinary monster.

Screens with Facies (Dir: Raúl Cerezo & Carlos Moriana/Spain/15 min) 1692. The Inquisition is in decline and one of the inquisitors has had the perfect torture device engineered, to show the world the horrible consequences of following the Devil. However, the engineer’s daughter has different plans.
