Filmed on a bygone video camera, Stinking Heaven immerses you in the darkest crevices of the 1990s: a rehab commune housing a coven of colorful yet caustic personalities. A lucid vision of Sartre’s assertion that “hell is other people,” written with an utmost sincere sense of anarchy. Oddly sublime.

Sean Price Williams’ extraordinary camerawork is unmissable in this striking dark comedy directed by indie mainstay Nathan Silver. His camera fixates on a group of friends (including Esther Garrel!) in extreme close-up as a range of atmospheric colors permeate their faces.
