“Blood is not only a thing that can turn you on, but also a thing that can set you free – from us.” Mubi has revealed their official trailer for peculiar dark comedy called Rosebush Pruning, the latest film made by the extra kooky Brazilian filmmaker Karim Aïnouz. This just premiered at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival a few months ago but it ended up with the worst reviews of the festival (I also hated it). This one’s a dud. Alas Mubi is planning to give it a release anyway for anyone still intrigued. A tedious film about rich people. In an opulent villa beneath the Catalonian sun, American siblings Jack, Ed, Anna and Robert wallow in their isolation as well as a great inherited fortune, eschewing the demands of their blind father, and seeking love and validation through each other and their latest designer clothes. When Jack, eldest brother and linchpin of this family, announces that he is moving in with his girlfriend Martha, blood ties are severed and Ed is forced to uncover the truth surrounding their mother’s death. Starring Callum Turner, Riley Keough, Jamie Bell, Lukas Gage, Elena Anaya, Tracy Letts, with Elle Fanning, & Pamela Anderson.
