About

This screening will be introduced by Robert Hughes, Australian Cinémathèque.

After affluent housewife Yasuko (Keiko Takahashi) inadvertently offends a door-to-door salesman, he begins a campaign of terror that turns her life into a living nightmare. Both a blood-soaked thriller and a class conscious assault on claustrophobic apartment living, Banmei Takahashi's endlessly inventive Door is a nerve-shattering home invasion film like no other.

Ages 18+ | Contains strong violence and references to sexual violence
