Synopsis

Bullhead, director Michael R. Roskam's stunning international debut and Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, is a harrowing tale of revenge, redemption, and fate. Domineering cattle farmer Jacky Vanmarsenille (Matthias Schoenaerts, in a ferocious breakout performance--constantly pumped on steroids and hormones--initiates a shady deal with a notorious mafioso meat trader. A police murder and the following investigation create a panic in the so-called Belgian cattle hormone mafia. When a federal agent is assassinated and a woman from his traumatic past resurfaces, Jacky must confront his demons and face the far-reaching consequences of his decisions. Bullhead visualizes the greedy forces behind modern day food industries, which corrupt our hearts and minds as much as our bodies. It is also a dark and unsettling story about loyalty and friendship, as well as a visceral saga bursting with primal rage. In Belgian with English subtitles.
