Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala’s The Lodge | 2019 Sundance Film Festival

Returning with their heavily anticipated sophomore feature, and English language debut, filmed outside of Montreal almost one year back, Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala‘s The Lodge (read our review) was a primo selection among Sundance Film Festival’s Midnight section. Excellent production design, this swell looking (DP Thimios Bakatakis) and sounding (Daniel Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans) psychological thriller cocktail is one part cabin fever episode and part addiction drama packaged with occult-like tweaks. Both filmmakers and cast & crew with Riley Keough were on hand for the premiere at the Library.
