The Late Marcin Wrona’s Demon Arrives in September
Distribution label The Orchard acquired North American rights to Demon (review) out of last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, though Polish director Marcin Wrona tragically passed away shortly after the premiere. When can you see it? We’ve just gotten word that the film arrives in limited theaters on September 9.
Check out the plot crunch and trailer below.
The film stars Itay Tiran, Agnieszka Zulewska, Andrzej Grabowski, Tomasz Schuchardt, Katarzyna Herman, Adam Woronowicz, Wlodzimierz Press, Tomasz Zietek, Cezary Kosinski, and Katarzyna Gniewkowska.
Synopsis:
A young man travels to the hometown of his future wife where he knows no one. As a wedding gift from the bride’s grandfather, he receives a piece of land where the two can build a house and raise a happy family. While preparing the land to build, he finds human bones buried beneath the new property. Strange things begin to happen to change this happy couple’s life forever. Demon is a modern take on one of the most famous figures of Jewish folklore, the dybbuk, a spirit of a person not properly laid to rest that seeks to inhabit the body of a living person.
