Commentaar
Op the Berlin Film Festival, where the film premiered, Rosebush Pruning was described as \"a biting satire on the absurdity of the traditional patriarchal family\". Anything but a lie, because the film exposes dysfunctional dynamics and lets you swirl in colorful and original images in ways that sometimes remind one of the king of absurdism, Yorgos Lanthimos. To portray his unique and disturbed characters, director Karim Aïnouz (Firebrand) consulted a star cast: Elle Fanning (Sentimental Value), Callum Turner (Eternity), and Jamie Bell (Billy Elliott, Half Man) shine alongside Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl).
