ABOVE THE KNEE

UK PREMIERE - Discovery SCREEN Two

Director: Viljar Bøe. Stars: Freddy Singh, Julie Abrahamsen, Louise Waage Anda, Viggo Solomon. Norway 2024. 76 mins.

Amir has a secret. He’s tormented by visions of his leg rotting and longs to cut it off, convinced it doesn’t belong to him. So, he devises a plan—one that will drag everyone around him into his relentless quest for a dark redemption. Director Viljar Bøe, known for his exploration of strange and unsettling characters in GOOD BOY, returns with a story about a man harbouring something rotten inside. How Amir chooses to confront it will push the audience to the limits of body horror in a squirm-inducing, uncomfortable, and visually disturbing fantasy not for the faint of heart.
