Rosebush Pruning (18)

— ,Cinemas

In an opulent villa beneath the Catalonian sun, four American siblings wallow in isolation, inherited fortunes and their latest designer outfits, in this star-studded absurdist drama. 

When Jack (Jamie Bell), the eldest brother and linchpin of this family, announces that he is moving in with his girlfriend Martha (Elle Fanning), blood ties are severed and Ed (Callum Turner) is forced to uncover the truth surrounding their mother’s death.

Generational lies begin to unravel, and the fabric of the family slowly begins to disintegrate, leaving a biting satire about the absurdity of the traditional patriarchal family.

From award winning director Karim Aïnouz (The Invisible Life of Euridice Gusmao, Motel Destino), written by Oscar nominated writer Efthimis Filippou (The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer), Rosebush Pruning is absurd and funny in equal measure.
