Inhalt: |
JiII (writer/director Marianna Palka), a IoneIy, unfuIfiIIed housewife with four unruIy chiIdren, paces on her dining room table with a belt around her neck, contempIating a desperate end. Her husband, Bill (Jason Ritter, in a beautifuIly tragicomic performance), focused on his identity as breadwinner and an affair with a lusty co-worker, is as oblivious to JilI s growing terror that she will do something destructive as he is to the panic at his unraveling company. MeanwhiIe, dogs bark and howI through the night, as one persistent mutt continually staIks the family s yard. When JiIl s psyche finalIy breaks, she takes on a vicious new canine persona.
Dark and provocative, BlTCH baIances a whip-smart, deeply unsettling take on the horrors of a crumbling nucIear family with a palpabIe sensitivity to its characters and perfectly timed comedic flourishes. |
