Cul-de-sac
“Sometimes there’s nothing left to do but laugh!”
ThrillerComedyCrime
On the run and in search of help, two wounded gangsters find refuge in the secluded castle of a feeble man and his wife; however, under the point of a gun, nothing is what it seems.
VIBE
A darkly comic, unsettlingly absurd descent into isolation and desperation. This surreal, black-and-white thriller feels like a bizarre, existential fever dream, playing out with a detached, almost clinical, yet darkly humorous, gaze.
