电光火石

玛戈特出身于贵族家庭。她继承了一座城堡，和脾气暴躁的丈夫迪特前去视察。当他们抵达城堡，理智被逐渐侵蚀，两人的关系受到了考验。

畅销恐怖小说作家萨特·凯恩（尤尔根·普洛斯诺 Jürgen Prochnow 饰）离奇失踪。由他撰写即将出版印刷的一部分小说手稿也随之神秘消失。凯恩身临其境的描写和大胆前瞻的预测，让此书还未出版就享有盛誉。很多粉丝如痴如醉的陷入他的作品之中不能自拔，甚至做出失去理性的暴力行为。
　　为了不耽误出版，出版商找来私家侦探约翰·特伦特（山姆·尼尔 Sam Neill 饰）和女编辑琳达·斯泰尔斯（朱莉·卡门 Julie Carmen 饰）一起追查凯恩的下落。约翰起初并不相信此书的魔力，然而当他和琳达到达凯恩笔下所写的小镇的时候，两人都震惊了。这个小镇真的如同凯恩所描绘的一样，而小说里恐怖诡异的事情也旋即发生。

　　Like Fritz Lang, David Fincher or Bong Joon Ho before him, talented debut filmmaker Lado Kvataniya uses the concept of police detective vs serial killer for an excitingly stylised, macabre and haunting narrative, that ultimately revolves around the identity of an era: in this case, the late 1980s Soviet Union. With Glasnost and the end of communist rule, the West also learned of the (unsurprising) fact that there were serial killers in Russia too – the most notorious case probably that of Andrei Chikatilo, nicknamed the Rostov Ripper, or the Russian Hannibal Lecter.
　　Based on these and many other sources, Kvataniya and screenwriter Olga Gorodetskaya constructed an immersive psychological puzzle, jumping back and forth in time, to reveal ever new-possible motives for the actions of all the protagonists. It all starts in 1990, when Detective Issa Davydov is celebrating his promotion and receives a call, reporting a crime that looks precisely like the ones of the serial killer that he famously captured some years before ...

　　Following her mother’s death, manga artist Soriya travels to her ancestral home in Phnom Penh, with hopes of reconnecting with her distant family and using the visit as inspiration for her work. All goes well initially. Renting an apartment in Metta, a rundown Khmer Rouge-era housing complex, her visit to her maternal relatives finds her welcomed with open arms. But Soriya’s waking hours in the apartment and its surroundings are punctuated by terrifying, bloody visions, almost as though she were a conduit for horrors of the past wanting to seep into the present.
　　Inrasothythep Neth and Sokyou Chea’s blood-chilling psychological horror explores a personal and political past through the present, transforming a characterful space into an insidious environment. Surrounded by modern high-rises, this decrepit structure, with its brutalist architecture and peeling surfaces, is a relic from a dark period in history whose painful memories it has absorbed. In tracing Soriya’s ominous journey back to her roots, Tenement hints at a necessary reckoning with Cambodia’s political past without overplaying its historical dimension. It’s an impressive work from a woefully underrepresented national cinema.
