For the finale of We Met Online, our season exploring the dark potential of the internet, we're proud to present a special screening of Red Rooms (2023), Pascal Plante's searing Thriller about a woman's raw obsession over a high profile court case involving a man accused of livestreaming the violent murders of three underage girls to an audience of paying clients on the dark web.
Acclaimed author and master of the transgressive Alison Rumfitt (Tell Me I'm Worthless, Brainwyrms) will be joining us to introduce a film that is remarkable for its power to shock, disturb, and implicate its audience in a vivid descent into the most morbid of curiosities, effectively unpacking the kind of detachment that thrives on the internet every day.
Debuting at festivals to vigorous buzz and numerous awards last year, Red Rooms got its US and UK releases earlier in 2024 and is being called one of the best films of the year for good reason; we promise you don't want to miss this one.
A superb performance by newcomer Juliette Garipy, a soundtrack of ominous gothica featuring the likes of Uboa and Nikita Kryukov, and a viciously propulsive narrative that will leave you holding your breath make this a must-see for any film lover or enjoyer of nefarious women worth their salt.
