A romance on steroids that makes you sweat instead of tears. A revenge movie that surprisingly combines brutality with seductive vintage aesthetics. In a provincial American town in the 1980s, gym manager Lou (Kristen Stewart) falls for the mysterious Jackie (Katy O’Brian) – a hyper-ambitious bodybuilder who dreams of winning a competition in Las Vegas. The candy colors and the rustle of nylon tracksuits do not mask the omnipresent violence committed by local gangsters, led by Lou’s father (Ed Harris). When the family cesspool bursts, the girls get down to cleaning up. But blood stains are as difficult to remove as lies and bad memories. Bloody, sexy and unpredictable “Love Lies Bleeding” from A24 conquered audiences at Sundance and Berlin. Rose Glass, known for the well-received "Saint Maud", proves with this that she creates surprising cinema that breaks all script rules, and that she can play with film like Tarantino. Written together with the Polish Weronika Tofilska (director of the hit series "Reniferek"), it is a hypnotizing thriller full of desire and fascination with the muscular body, beautiful and dangerous at the same time. "Love Lies Bleeding" is a story of great love and even bigger biceps, laced with black humor, which asks a provocative question about how much strength a woman needs to fight for her freedom
