Bourgeois Absolution

The depressed Cayden is being haunted by a sinister entity. This entity is troubling him in his daily routine: during his economy lectures, walking on the street and, most importantly, at home. Cayden wants to escape this traumatic cycle, and eventually falls for his overly optimistic friend Danny, who offers him the possibility to join a mysterious motorcycle gang under the leadership of the enigmatic Jansen.

Directed by Jorrit Bouwmans, Jasper Koopmans, Bourgeois Absolution leans on a strong ensemble — Bertan Topbac, Geoffrey Alkemade, Glenn Coenen — 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 thriller titles of 2019.
