ROUGH NIGHTS

ROUGH NIGHTS

directed by:

Alex Kasses

"Max is in his mid-twenties and is more and more overwhelmed with himself and his environment. He finds it difficult to accept that his father is undergoing psychiatric treatment, risking work and relationships.
The loss of power leads him increasingly into lethargy. An oppressive interplay between reality and madness takes its course.

In his debut short film, Alex Kasses uses a non-linear dramaturgy to deal with the core themes of isolation and transformation, tracing interpersonal and depth psychological processes. As in an unstoppable crescendo, the events tumble over and merge into an immersive, pulsating portrait of letting go and growing up. "
