Burning Palace

Five people who are in a show at a bar, who live in this hotel and have very different relationships with one another. After the show – they are already sleeping – they are woken by Pan for the night and therefore wake up to the destruction that is held within them.

Directed by Mara Mattuschka, Chris Haring, Burning Palace leans on a strong ensemble — Stephanie Cumming, Luke Baio, Katharina Meves — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2009.
