The Cutting
$$ BUY TICKETS
Directed by Peter Missotten & Bram Smeyers (2000, Belgium, 95 min.)
U.S. premiere
Two cuties--willowy Frank and lanky Wout--have committed an unspeakable crime, and try to outrun reprisal by fleeing in opposite directions. Somehow, they end up in the same spot--a nocturnal woods filled with surreal surprises. When their assigned killer catches up with them, the film morphs into a vertiginous Moebius-strip of eternal return. Pitched exactly between horror and humor, with the three motormouths riffing nonstop on everything from the Spice Girls to fluted knives, The Cutting is a boldly experimental thriller that haunts the imagination long after its breathtaking finish.
