Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival - Jonas Follonier
Swiss premiere at the eighteenth edition of the NIFFF (Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival), Mandy is the second feature film from director George P. Cosmatos. It features a happy, but already strange, couple living in a wooden house in the middle of a forest: Red, an endearing young man (played by the excellent Nicolas Cage) and Mandy, a daydreaming woman (played by Andrea Riseborough). Think she's a bit «hippy», a bit «spiritual»? You ain't seen nothing yet. Because the Jesus freaks who suddenly turn up in this reclusive place and burn Mandy alive before her partner's eyes are of a completely different kind.
