Overview

In the beautiful, otherworldly Carpathian Mountains a woman is traveling with a small boy in a horse and cart, looking to punish those who once abused her. For years, Katalin has been keeping a terrible secret. Hitchhiking with two men, she was brutally raped in the woods. Although she has kept silent about what happened, she has not forgotten, and her son Órban serves as a living reminder.

Like being smothered by an electric blanket, you won'#39;t realize how satisfying the show burn is until you'#39;re already dead. Peter Strickland (In Fabric) delivers a wonderful, haunting film about the risks of revenge.

I enjoyed Peter Strickland'#39;s '#39;Berberian Sound Studio'#39; from 2012, and this film made by him 3 years earlier is just as good, if not better. It has a strange tone - almost like a 1970s Agnes Varda film, but it'#39;s set in Romania in present day. It'#39;s extremely erie in places and very beautifully shot in the Carpathian mountains about a woman with nothing left to lose out for vengeance. It also features a superb (but disturbing) monologue midway through the film from lead actress Hilda Peter.
