Laurin (ej svensk text) (Blu-ray)

A single image - a woman in a black cloak in a cemetery on a stormy night – was the inspiration for director Robert Sigl to create this richly atmospheric, gloriously morbid and menacing Gothic chiller. In a 19th century German village, a young girl experiences fearsome night-time visions as a deranged child-killer stalks the streets… Evoking dark coming-of-age tales such as Valerie and Her Week of Wonders and the stories of Angela Carter, the stylish, sinister film draws comparisons with the cinema of Italian maestros Mario Bava and Dario Argento. Boasting wonderful set and costume design, and superb cinematography by Nyika Jancsó, Laurin is an outstanding debut feature.
