masterful storytelling … spellbinding ★★★★ State of the Art

Drawing from David Lynch’s Lost Highway, Hideo Nakata's Ring and Michael Haneke’s Hidden, Videotape is a surreal new thriller that points the camcorder at the lies and complicities that prop up our everyday lives.

Written & Directed by Saro Lusty-Cavallari

with Laura Djanegara, Jake Fryer-Hornsby and Lucinda Howes

Daniel and Juliette really are a beautiful young couple. Everyone knows it. They have a gorgeous apartment together and as the world settles in for lockdown there aren't two people more prepared to bunker down with each other.

Yet when videotapes start appearing that have somehow recorded every private moment they’d rather not show the world, cracks start to show. Are the golden couple really ready to get to the bottom of who or what is sending them these tapes? After all, what could they possibly have to hide?
