CGiii Comment
It is impossible to 'like' this film...due to its subject matter.
It is a film that has to be admired...due to it subject matter.
Most will demand a backstory...there is none - that's the point. It doesn't matter.
A child has been abducted by an emotionless paedophile - he has been held captive for an unstated amount of years - and, is obedient with a sliver of defiance...that, in itself, is the horror.
Fuith is chilling to watch.
Schleinzer throws subtlety around everywhere...he plays with inappropriate humour. He resists judgment...
The ending...inspired.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Five months in the life of a pedophile who keeps a 10-year-old boy locked in his basement.
