WITMAN BOYS



Featured in Un Certain Regard at Cannes, this stylish and disturbing tale of two young brothers who, after the sudden death of their father, enter a downward spiral of grim morbidity, maintains a gripping level of tension throughout. "Talented director Janos Szasz has followed his well-received WOYZECK with this genuinely chilling item, set in a provincial town in 1914, about a pair of brothers who become fascinated with sex and death. Exquisitely photographed and eerily atmospheric, this is a grim pic but one which should definitely feature on the fest circuit..."-David Stratton, VARIETY
