“The degeneration of high society!”

ComedyDramaFantasy

After a lavish dinner party, the guests find themselves unable to depart... and, over the next few days, all of their elaborate societal pretenses and façades deteriorate as they are reduced to living like animals.

VIBE

This film feels like a bizarre, elegant nightmare, slowly tightening its grip. It's a darkly comedic and unsettling experience, observing the unraveling of polite society under an inexplicable, surreal spell. The atmosphere is one of growing absurdity and claustrophobia, a pointed critique wrapped in a dreamlike logic.
