What makes yesterday’s news that Marcin Wrona was found dead in a Portland hotel room especially stinging, though, is that the Polish filmmaker was clearly on the verge of becoming a major player with a bright future. He was only 42.
“Demon hinges on a dybbuk, the spirit of a dead person who according to Jewish mythology haunts the living. The film, Wrona’s third, was an unconventional approach to Poland’s coming to terms with the Holocaust.”
The trailer for Demon (below) is both chilling and captivating with detectable shades of Martin Scorsese and Roman Polanski with a dash of Lars von Trier—and it looks fantastic!
