About the film:
World Premiere, 2023 Venice Film Festival
When the Marquis d’Urfé, a noble emissary of the King of France, is attacked and abandoned in the remote countryside, he finds refuge at an eerie, isolated manor. The resident family, reluctant to take him in, exhibits strange behavior as they await the imminent return of their father, Gorcha. But what begins simply as strange quickly devolves into a full fledged nightmare when Gorcha returns, seemingly no longer himself.
“one of the year’s best and strangest surprises… a fresh and aromatic exploration of gothic horrors that will haunt your dreams”
—Josh Korngut, Dread Central
