has scooped international sales rights to twisted and suspenseful production “The Uncle” ahead of its market screening at the Toronto Festival.
“The Uncle” is a near-claustrophobic depiction of a Yugoslavian family in the late ‘80s as they hastily prepare to gather for Christmas Eve dinner. All in its place, awaiting their beloved uncle from Germany, who’ll be arriving any minute in his Mercedes. On the surface, a mundane enough task, but are things truly as they seem?
As the narrative advances, the home feels smaller, the acts more sinister, with each breath taken in. An uncle who adores a captive audience anchors the family as the camera inches closer to the action and then pulls back to reveal the nostalgic and dated furnishings of the quaint abode, housing secrets in the fabric, likely tearing at the seams.
“When the producers asked us who we’d imagine as the uncle in an ideal world, we told them without any hesitation, Miki Manojlović,” the directors relayed.
