Feature debut

Violation

A woman in the process of getting a divorce joins her sister and husband to find some semblance of peace. One night, her brotherin-law betrays her with an ambiguous gesture, whereupon the young woman embarks on revenge.

To categorise Violation as a rape and revenge movie would be to diminish the scope and finesse of a work that portrays realistic characters who have lost their sense of direction. Visually radical and powerful, this debut film by a writer-director duo is an invaluable and exciting work that rejects any form of Manichaeism or simplification. Violation is simply the story of a wounded woman’s devastating anger
