Gretchen is seventeen, age-appropriately rebellious, and therefore not exactly over the moon that she’s moving with her dad’s new family from the States to a vacation resort in the Bavarian Alps. The resort’s sinister, ever-grinning manager, Herr König, warns them about going for walks alone at night, and when Gretchen sets out on one of those, she discovers that behind the natural idyll there’s a gaping abyss. After his award-winning experimental debut Luz, Tilman Singer unleashes a nightmare that is as hypertextured as it is confidently absurd and artificial, with a stellar Hunter Schafer in the lead.
