CUL-DE-SAC
Directed by Roman Polanski
UK, 1966

"In a role that requires him to run sideways most of the time with his head at a crooked angle, [Pleasence] is hilarious and frightening as a man going mad, and the film has an eerie appeal."

FILM SUMMARY

Who's that lurking around the corner? Why it's Roman Polanski! The Bijou is pleased to bring one of the cinematic mastermind's lesser known but charming, off-beat thrillers from the UK. The story of "Cul-de-Sac" revolves around a pesky outlaw on the run. He stumbles onto a castle on the beachfront where a quirky Englishman and his curious French wife are staying. Against their will, he imposes himself in their lives causing thrills, chills, and laughs. With his one-of-a-kind cinematography, colorful characters, and unique cinematic technique, Polanski paints a stunning but bizarre film. Not available at your local rental store, you won't want to miss this chance to see a small piece of Polanski's artistry on the big screen.

WINNER, GOLDEN BEAR
