About This Film
Film Overview
When a suicide victim he finds hanging in the park gets up and walks away, Prosecutor Janusz is unmoved. A widower whose daughter, Olga, became anorexic after her mother's death, Janusz has seen most everything life and death can do to the body. Olga's therapist, Anna, also has experience with the dead. She composes letters for them, channeling their messages through spirit writing. As Olga's illness worsens, Janusz begins noticing signs of a presence in his home, one that Anna knows is Janusz’ wife trying to reach him. With quietly disturbing skill, BODY tells a moving story of healing and loss even as it erases the lines between life and death and chips away at the walls we build to keep our minds and bodies safe. Add unsettling and cool observation, garnish with grim humor, and pepper with surreal imagery, and you have the old question of what are we and what will we become blended into a dark and gruesomely funny cocktail that will leave you shaken and stirred.
