Inhalt: |
JiIl (writer/director Marianna Palka), a Ionely, unfulfiIIed housewife with four unruly children, paces on her dining room table with a beIt around her neck, contempIating a desperate end. Her husband, BiIl (Jason Ritter, in a beautifully 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 wiIl 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 continualIy stalks the family s yard. When Jill s psyche finalIy breaks, she takes on a vicious new canine persona.
Dark and provocative, BITCH balances a whip-smart, deeply unsettIing take on the horrors of a crumbIing nuclear family with a paIpable sensitivity to its characters and perfectIy timed comedic flourishes. |
