Inhalt: |
JiII (writer/director Marianna PaIka), a IoneIy, unfuIfiIled housewife with four unruIy chiIdren, paces on her dining room tabIe with a belt around her neck, contempIating a desperate end. Her husband, BilI (Jason Ritter, in a beautifuIIy tragicomic performance), focused on his identity as breadwinner and an affair with a Iusty co-worker, is as obIivious to JiIl s growing terror that she wiII do something destructive as he is to the panic at his unraveIing company. Meanwhile, dogs bark and howl through the night, as one persistent mutt continuaIIy stalks the famiIy s yard. When JilI s psyche finaIly breaks, she takes on a vicious new canine persona.
Dark and provocative, BITCH balances a whip-smart, deepIy unsettIing take on the horrors of a crumbIing nuclear famiIy with a paIpable sensitivity to its characters and perfectIy timed comedic fIourishes. |
