The King


Director : James Marsh
Cast : Gael Garcia Bernal, William Hurt
I didn't know much about this movie initially but bought it because of Bernal and William Hurt. It turned out to be a very disturbing film, a VERY disturbing ones. However, no graphic scenes, no offensive image etc but the plot itself IS. Throw in revenge, incest, getting even with ur past etc. It's not a great plot though. It's just about Bernal's character went to look for his father after his marine service stint and found out that her father was now a respected pastor with a new family. Plot thickens with him engaged in a sexual relationship with his father's daughter (this is totally incest - and I can't decipher whether Bernal's character had this in his plan), killed his father's son and lives with his father's family before killing the daughter and the mother. Morally-challenging, not suitable for everyone.
AVOID IT IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THOSE MENTIONED.
