Loynes
From Cannes comes this singularly bizarre mix of history and nightmare, in which a 19th-century corpse is pulled from the mud and put on trial before a delirious Liverpool courtroom.
A shapeshifting slice of highwire absurdity that’s equal parts legal melodrama and Boschian underworld, this colourful, cacophonous courtroom thriller travels from mythical mountaintop to Scouser tribunal and through a time slip into the near future, galvanised by a poetic turn from Vicenç Altaió (The Story of My Death, MIFF 2014; The Death of Louis XIV, MIFF 2016).
