Skunk
Blood streams down Liam's face when the police snatch him from his aggressive parents. But even in the youth center he is not safe from abuse. Budding psychopaths like Momo and Johan, who dream of setting kittens on fire, have their sights set on him. But Liam is ready. He knows enough about violence, including from the splatter films he watched as a child, locked in the cellar while the adults celebrated their kinky sex parties upstairs.
EX DRUMMER traumatized you in 2007. And so enthusiastic that you honored the fucked-up assi-punk hunk with the FRESH BLOOD AWARD! In SKUNK, Koen Mortier also sinks deep into the human abyss - and never resurfaces. Thibaud Dooms' acting performance is deeply disturbing: Liam's gaze is branded with all the unresolved torment of a destroyed childhood, his ruthless outbursts resemble a primal force. SKUNK will fuck you up.
English Version
In 2007 EX DRUMMER traumatized us - so much that the audience celebrated the fucked-up assi-punk hunk with the FRESH BLOOD AWARD! Belgian director Koen Mortier comes back with SKUNK and dives again deep into the human abyss - and never sees the surface again. Thibaud Dooms' acting performance as an outsider and redemption seeker Liam is deeply disturbing. For sure, SKUNK will get you.
