The trailer for the TIFF Vanguard Selection
Blondie starts out innocently enough with a scene of three beautiful, reunited sisters getting drunk together... then it gets weird. Not in a terribly overt way, but there's something about that uncomfortable laughter, those zombified-Wes Anderson-looking compositions and the ominous music that hints at a much more sinister film than the fairly bland synopsis suggests. I'm getting
Dogtooth vibes here, but time will tell.
Three
sisters, all adrift and in crisis, reunite at their childhood home as
their domineering mother arranges a big birthday. But as the
festivities come to an end, repressed conflicts rise to the surface. Old
wounds are opened and a new family is born.
The Swedish film is directed by Jasper Ganslandt
(The Ape, Falkenberg Farewell).
