A young man with untreated schizophrenia, with Herzog as his father.

Sinekatalog’s take

Harmony Korine's Dogme film follows a schizophrenic young man and his tyrannical father, played by Werner Herzog. Raw, shaky and disturbing, with Ewen Bremner outstanding, it is an uncompromising, provocative portrait.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
