Buttoners

1997 · 102 min

A wry, bitter patchwork of odd little stories that quietly echo each other, leaving a sly, unsettled grin.

Overview: It is a film consisting of six short stories, which mostly tell in a black humorous, ironic, often bitterly bitter form about an ancient curse, human infidelity, strange deviations, an unexpected miracle and hypocritical forgiveness. They have their own pointed structure, specific atmosphere and way of processing, and yet they pass on motives to each other that communicate with each other and observe the same things from different angles.
How it feels: Cynical, satirical, absurd and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Betrayal, guilt, morality, obsession
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
