Heavy, steady, measured comedy / horror, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold, hand-scored across twelve axes of taste.
How every film is hand-scored →Follow a small group of elderly “Peeping Toms” through the shadows and margins of an unfamiliar world. Crudely documented by the participants themselves, we follow the debased and shocking actions of a group of true sociopaths the likes of which have never been seen before. Inhabiting a world of broken dreams and beyond the limits of morality, they crash against a torn and frayed America.
