Provocative, opulent, and featuring a star-studded cast, director Karim Aïnouz presents a biting satire on the absurdity of the traditional patriarchal family in his entry to this year’s Berlinale competition. We are screening ROSEBUSH PRUNING as a preview ahead of its nationwide theatrical release, followed by a discussion with the director.

About

In a villa in Catalonia, an American family lives in a golden cage. The siblings Ed, Jack, Anna, and Robert spend their days amid designer clothes, bizarre rituals, and mind games, under the watchful eye of their blind, tyrannical father. Since their mother’s mysterious death—allegedly at the hands of wolves—a web of dependency and obsessions has held the family together. When Jack announces that he is moving out with his girlfriend, the fragile balance begins to falter.
