Bug – Tödliche Brut (2006)

Bug – Tödliche Brut: Directed by William Friedkin. With Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon, Harry Connick Jr., Lynn Collins. An unhinged war veteran holes up with a lonely woman in a spooky Oklahoma motel room. The line between reality and delusion is blurred as they discover a bug infestation.

“I was lucky enough to see the movie in a French theater showing a part of the Cannes film festival selection.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you know William Friedkin mostly for his gritty thrillers or The exorcist, Bug might be a surprise: a single location, 5 characters, no car chase, but still a lot of ambiguity and psychological exploration.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBug actually reminds me of the first Friedkin movies, also based on plays and more interested in character study than spectacular effects. Itu0026#39;s all the more striking that Bug looks like a young manu0026#39;s movie, filled with energy, experimentation, absurd humor and a genuine sense of artistic freedom. Bug tries a lot of things, doesnu0026#39;t always succeed but remains an intense exercise of style. Recommanded for everybody who enjoys a good surprise.”
