THE WITMAN BOYS (WITMAN FIUK) World Cinema

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 pie but one
which should definitely feature on the
fest circuit…”-David Stratton,
