Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
BULLY
Synopsis

Our take
Director-provocateur Larry Clark’s disturbing cinema alights on the decadent world of pleasure-seeking teenagers. Based on a novel which was in turn inspired by a real event, Bully is part rape-revenge thriller, part morality tale, starring an ever-unsettling Michael Pitt and rap music by Eminem.
