BLUE RUIN American Independents

A classic American revenge story, BLUE RUIN follows a mysterious outsider whose quiet life is turned upside down when he returns to his childhood home to carry out an act of vengeance. Proving himself an amateur assassin, he winds up in a brutal fight to protect his estranged family. Steeped in the moody, cramped suburbs of the American South, this modern gothic tale immerses the audience in an atmospheric rendering of violence born out of despair. A follow-up to director Jeremy Saulnier’s critically acclaimed – and criminally under-seen – MURDER PARTY (2007), BLUE RUIN is a subversive tale of revenge. Saulnier is one of the brightest and most deliberate filmmakers working today. Known for his masterful technical skill, he is also a noted cinematographer whose mastery of the frame is unassailable.
