The Dark House (Dom zły)
Fargo-esque Polish thriller about a murder on a remote farm.
Directly following on from Iwona Kurz’s talk about evil in Polish cinema, here’s a rare example of a contemporary film willing to confront darker aspects of the country’s past. Built around the murder of a family on a remote farm, the story switches between the incident itself in 1978 and an investigation which takes place during martial law four years later. Combining Fargo-like black comedy and uncompromising horror, The Dark House gradually reveals a web of small-town corruption that leaves nobody untouched. Supported by the Polish Cultural Institute in London. Presented in association with Polish Expats Association (PEA) and Laundry. *RecommendedDir. Wojciech Smarzowski / Poland 2009 / 105 min
