Katalin Varga 2009

Like being smothered by an electric blanket, you won't realize how satisfying the show burn is until you're already dead.

Peter Strickland (In Fabric) delivers a wonderful, haunting film about the risks of revenge.

I enjoyed Peter Strickland's 'Berberian Sound Studio' from 2012, and this film made by him 3 years earlier is just as good, if not better. It has a strange tone - almost like a 1970s Agnes Varda film, but it's set in Romania in present day. It's extremely erie in places and very beautifully shot in the Carpathian mountains about a woman with nothing left to lose out for vengeance. It also features a superb (but disturbing) monologue midway through the film from lead actress Hilda Peter.
