From Sweden’s Ronny Carlsson, an evocative 43 minute head-scratcher involving a tormented woman, a house in a forest and a great deal of artful grotesquerie
A whacked-out yet heartfelt Belgian import, this is a lush and romantic film about masturbation, physical deformity and necrophilia that plays like the most demented Frank Capra movie ever made
A true classic of Japanese cult cinema, a stunningly twisted black comedy that takes on suburban life in eighties-era Japan by spoofing American sitcoms of the time
