Cowards Bend The Knee

Adapted from a ten-part peephole installation, COWARDS BEND THE KNEE is "jam-packed with enough kinetically photographed action to seem like a never-ending cliffhanger. Set in a shadow-suffused hockey arena and a Mabuse-like beauty salon-slash-abortion clinic, the plot drips with Grecian formula, as sordid family secrets spawn unintentional murder most foul.

Winner of the FIRPRESCI Prize at the Rotterdam International Film Festival. Nominated for Best Film at the Lyon Festival of New Generation Cinema.

"Lurid, tawdry and untoward entertainment from Canada's reigning mad genius." - John Anderson, Newsday
