Drama / 2015 / NR / 101 min

Synopsis: The late Andrzej Zulawski (Possession) made a delirious, inimitable career out of pushing the boundaries of film, and his final feature, Cosmos, makes for a fitting end.

Witold (Jonathan Genet), who has just failed the bar exam, and his companion Fuchs (Johan Libereau), who has recently quit his fashion job, are staying at a guesthouse run by the intermittently paralytic Madame Woytis (Sabine Azema). Upon discovering a sparrow hanged in the woods near the house, Witold’s reality mutates into a whirlwind of tension, histrionics, foreboding omens, and surrealistic logic as he becomes obsessed with Madame Woytis’s daughter Lena (Victoria Guerra).
