Criminal Lovers
Two teenagers who have killed one of their peers make their getaway to the heart of a shady forest in this modern-day Hansel and Gretel thriller. This time around, however, a mute old man living in a cottage imprisons the couple, and what ensues is a cruelly beautiful study of passion with perverse charm and banal humour. "Criminal Lovers" is a surprising bedtime story for adults, made even more alluring by the fascinating sensation of sexual danger...
