15 yrs 90 minutes • 2013 • 7.1

Blue ruin is a critically acclaimed indie thriller written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier and with largely undiscovered actors. We follow Dwight (Macon Blair), an outsider of a mysterious past whose quiet life turns upside down when he hears the news that the man who murdered his parents are to be released. He returns to his childhood home with the intention of taking out revenge, but the plan soon turns into a battle of life and death to protect his since long abandoned family. The film has gained high ratings in international press and the dark and dirty revenge theme is compared to both the Coen brothers and Taranto's aesthetics.
