The Painted Bird (2019) Vaclav Marhoul

I couldn't find a thread for this film, so I made this one.

Sorry if there already is one, somewhere.

This film looks absolutely incredible.

It just world premiered at Venice 2019 to both enormous acclaim and numerous walk-outs.


It is based on Jerzy Kosinski's famous 1965 novel, "The Painted Bird". It details a young boy's experiences as he treks alone and encounters a number of different characters in Europe during WWII during the Holocaust. The book, and now the film, are famous for portraying harsh brutality.


Vaclav Marhoul has made the film adaptation, which features Stellan Skarsgard, Harvey Keitel, Udo Kier, Barry Pepper, and Julian Sands... ALL actors with daring reputations.


It is allegedly a grueling experience as a film.


I am very much looking forward to it, personally.
