视频简介
American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。新晋画家阿波隆妮亚透过绘画女性画像，思考身体政治。丹麦导演莉雅格洛就用摄像机，对准阿波隆妮亚，勾画出她的肖像，揭示她跌宕起伏的成长，以及自我探索的挣扎。拍摄历时十三年，记录像她这样别具一格的女子经历过的爱与痛、喜与悲、疑惑与笃定、放浪与流离，面对生与死，又如何在男性主导的艺术圈子站稳脚步。导演的镜头也反顾自身，以极其迷人的私密纪录，反映当代女性的某些精神面貌与生存状态。阿姆斯特丹纪录片电影节最佳影片。。
