 | Artsploitation is back at it with Der Bunker |
During its festival run, critics have described Der Bunker as “Flat out fantastic!” (Ain’t It Cool News), "flawless from start to finish.” (Collider.com), “has midnight cult title written all over it.” (Hollywood Reporter), "A pitch black comedy.” (TwitchFilm),“Twisted and trashy…A dark fairy tale of sorts with everything from darkly throbbing Lynchian undercurrents, outré touches of scifi and more than a soupçon of camp a la John Waters” (Entertainment Today) and “Der Bunker is as strange as a David Cronenberg film and as fun as a Terry Gilliam movie.” – popculturebeast
The Der Bunker will be released on DVD and Blu-ray (and 90-day exclusive streaming on Vimeo) August 23, 2016, and on most major VOD outlets beginning in December 6.
With his surrealistic and dark, yet strangely heart-warming approach towards an unusual family’s world, DER BUNKER’s director Nikias Chryssos may well be the nephew of John Waters and the illegitimate son of David Lynch and Luis Buñuel. It all begins when a student (Pit Bukowski, Der Samurai) rents a room in a bunker home nestled deep within a forest. Here, instead of finding tranquility for his studies, the young man becomes increasingly involved in the dramas of his landlord’s family. They include the stern father, his wife (whose swollen leg almost takes a life of its own) and their precocious 8-year-old son Klaus who, despite being German and "learning-challenged," is being home groomed to become the President of the United States. Initially friendly and welcoming, the situation for the student becomes increasingly bizarre.
