In The Basement

What lies beneath the veneers and manners of the Austrian bourgeoisie? Filmmaker Seidl has probed this question before in multiple docurealist works. Here, he takes subterranean geographies at their most literal and metaphoric, by capturing the delights and secrets of a diverse series of Austrian basements. Teenage rock bands and Nazi souvenirs, snakes and fetishes, indoor shooting ranges and scenarios for domination. In all, myriad hidden places of the home and mind should prove shocking, amusing or perhaps illuminating.
