The violence is never as ferocious as in Nicolas Winding Refn's «Bronson» (it makes its point without being gratuitous), but director David Mackenzie doesn't sugarcoat anything either, providing an unfiltered look at what happens when the red mist
descends on these
wild men.
Coralie Fargeat's aptly - named feature film debut follows Matilda Lutz as Jen, initially drawn as a shy wallflower who is desperate to be loved (especially by her boyfriend, played by Kevin Jannsens), who is pushed to
wild extremes when she's violated by the
man she loves and his loutish group of friends who unexpectedly
descend upon what was meant to be a quiet weekend away.
