In the organizer's words:

Rosebush Pruning

Can a movie sweat? ROSEBUSH PRUNING oozes from every pore, producing torrents of hot and ice-cold sweat; delivers a frontal assault on the senses, challenging, opulent, always with a little too much color, too much emotion, too much design, even almost too many stars (Pamela Anderson, Jamie Bell, Elle Fanning, Riley Keough, perhaps the future Bond Callum Turner...). But as a movie about a privileged rich family on their own private journey to hell, it hits the mark.

Marco Bellocchio's furious masterpiece MIT DER FAUST IN DER TASCHE was the inspiration for Karim Aïnouz's provocative adaptation. He consistently stylizes the drama as a modern satire, as a completely indiscreet "charm of the bourgeoisie": a slaughterfest of malice that goes to the heart of the matter - ecstatic and lashing out.
