An original, bizarre and wonderfully inventive take on a dysfunctional Greek family, this is bound to be one of the most talked about films of the year.
Determined to protect them from the wicked world outside Dad keeps his wife and three teenage children locked in the house, demands total obedience and rules with a rod of iron. Totally isolated and increasingly bored, inevitably the teenagers turn in on themselves. When Dad brings in a young woman to have sex with his son she provokes a vicious chain of events.
An extraordinary, thought-provoking film, full of twisted laughs, penetrating insights into power, patriarchy and the role of language in determining behaviour.
Caiff teulu Groegaidd eu cau i ffwrdd o’r byd gan y penteulu i’w hamddiffyn rhag ddylanwadau drwg – ond daw pethau drwg i’w canlyn yn sgil yr ynysu hwn.
