Cowards Bend The Knee

Streaming video - 2003

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***
