In a Glass Cage: Bleak Week
Presented in partnership with the American Cinematheque, ‘Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair’ is an annual film festival showcasing some of the greatest works of cinema from across the globe that venture into the darkest sides of humanity and the bleakest points in human history.
The fifth annual edition in June 2026 expands to nearly 100 theaters across the U.S., Canada,U.K. and South and Central America, with each venue presenting its own original curated lineup of uncompromising films defined by unpleasant truths and raw empathy. The Park Theatre is delighted and honoured to take part in this monumental series, and sought selections from local filmmakers and friends of the venue to curate the series.
IN A GLASS CAGE Selected by Oscar-winning filmmakers Samantha Quan and Sean Baker (ANORA, THE FLORIDA PROJECT)
IN A GLASS CAGE tells the story of an ex-Nazi child abuser named Klaus who is paralyzed and relies on an iron lung to live. A young man named Angelo arrives to nurse the sadistic patient. But as it turns out, Angelo was one of Klaus's victims years before. Inspired by the true story of 15th century French knight Gilles de Rais, this psychological thriller is considered Spanish filmmaker Agusti Villaronga’s masterpiece.
“This film was eventually discovered by adventurous horror connoisseurs, who quickly placed it alongside 'Salo' and 'Cannibal holocaust' in the pantheon of beautifully-made cinematic atrocities."
(Nathaniel Thompson, MONDO DIGITAL)
"Villaronga's unsettling lyrical nightmare hasn't aged a bit; it stays in the mind long after more bloodthirsty recent horror flicks have faded away." (Village Voice)
"'In a Glass Cage' is distinctly uninterested in offering easy or comforting answers...the ambiguity is part of its strength." (Bloody Disgusting)
"As creepy as they come, leaving a lingering chill that only time can warm." (Los Angeles Times)
