The Reunion

The Reunion

Anna Odell / Sweden / 2013 / Czech Premiere / 89 min.


synopsis

For most people, reunions are a pleasant affair. But not for those who spent their school years being hazed, subjected to psychological terror, and consistently ignored. This reconstruction can be seen as a meditation on the painful side of childhood and adolescence through the unforgiving objectivity of an adult.

biography

Artist Anna Odell first gained attention in her native Sweden with the project Unknown, Woman 2009-349701, which openly explored the subject of mental disorders and self-destruction. Reunion is her debut as a filmmaker.
