Great Britain

Winner of the Golden Bear for Best Film at the Berlin Festival. A lonely castle in Northumbria. The bizarre inmates - the timid, neurotic owner and his bored, promiscuous wife, who indulge each other's strange fantasies. Two gangsters on the run burst in on them and hold them hostage. So begins a blacker than black comedy of claustrophobic nightmare proportions as Award Winning Director, Roman Polanski, holds a perverse mirror to contemporary society. 'A hypnotic experience" Alexander Walker, Evening Standard. Director Roman Polanski - "I think the best film I ever made is CUL DE SAC"
