Comedy

A dark comedy about a murder and its consequences presented in a backwards manner, where death is actually a rebirth. The film starts with an "execution" of the main protagonist and goes back to explore his previous actions and motivations.

VIBE

A disorienting, darkly funny descent into the absurd. This film flips convention, offering a bleak yet strangely liberating look at life's end as a new beginning. It's a challenging, thought-provoking experience.
