“A beautiful, unhinged, sometimes hilarious trek into geographical and psychological wilderness.” - Variety

Willem Dafoe plays Clint, a tortured man who absconded to the wilds of northern Canada after the civilised portion of his life didn’t work out. Director Abel Ferrara’s surrealist and experimental style allows us to dive deep into the mysteries of Clint’s inner thoughts. Presenting a fluid dance between horror, dystopian landscapes and reflection, the film builds further into a space of mysticism and reflection.

Seamlessly gliding from expansive snowy landscapes to deep caves, Stefano Falivene’s beautiful cinematography sets the backdrop for the nightmarish stage. As Clint’s personal journey uncovers dark pasts the filmmaking style opens up the narrative, jumping around in a non-linear approach to editing, engaging with his despair delicately but directly.
