Renowned Slovenian director Janez Burger (Idle Running, Ruins, Ivan) turns his attention to a true story that occurred in Slovenia a few years ago, when a group of people in the centre of Ljubljana beat a man to death while hundreds of onlookers watched the event live and did nothing to intervene. Employing strong genre elements, Burger crafts a disturbing thriller intertwined with social drama that delves deep into questions about today’s moral and ethical landscape.
Warning: this film contains violence, mostly off-screen, but includes images with blood.
The screening on Saturday includes a Q&A with the film makers.
De beroemde Sloveense regisseur Janez Burger (Idle Running, Ruins, Ivan) richt zijn aandacht op een waargebeurd verhaal dat enkele jaren geleden in Slovenië plaatsvond, toen een groep mensen in het centrum van Ljubljana een man doodsloeg terwijl honderden omstanders het live aanschouwden en niets deden om in te grijpen. Met gebruik van sterke genre-elementen creëert Burger een verontrustende thriller, verweven met sociaal drama, die diep ingaat op vragen over het hedendaagse morele en ethische landschap.
Waarschuwing: deze film bevat geweld, meestal off-screen, maar bevat beelden met bloed.
