strangers stuck together

A dinner party ends in The Exterminating Angel and the guests find they cannot leave the room. Within a few days nobody is pretending to be polite. Six thugs in Reservoir Dogs are given false names so they will not get too close before the job. The Holdovers keeps a teacher nobody likes at school over Christmas with the students nobody collected. None of them picked who they would be stuck with, and the film starts once they are. You spend it working out which is worse to be stuck with, the situation or the person across the table.

Films here also carry Moral Ambiguity, Survival, Organized Crime, Psychological Horror, Class Warfare · Most represented: Quentin Tarantino.
