About
This screening will be introduced by Rob 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
