This jet-black comedy centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is under interrogation about the content of his twisted short stories and their startling similarities to a series of brutal murders. But who is truly responsible? The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art itself. A profound and wickedly funny tale from the writer of such films as In Bruges, The Banshees Of Inisherin, and Wild Horse Nine.
