Bullhead
dir. Michaël R. Roskam · 2011
Jacky Vanmarsenille, a young cattle farmer, finds himself ensnared in a web of crime and betrayal when a shady deal spirals out of control. As he grapples with the haunting shadows of his past, the film immerses you in a world where every decision carries the weight of consequence, and innocence is a fleeting memory.
Sint-Truiden, Belgium. The young Limburg cattle farmer Jacky Vanmarsenille (Matthias Schoenaerts), is approached by an unscrupulous veterinarian to make a shady deal with a notorious West-Flemish beef trader. But the assassination of a federal policeman, and an unexpected confrontation with a mysterious secret from Jacky's past, set in motion a chain of events with far-reaching consequences. BULLHEAD is an exciting tragedy about fate, lost innocence and friendship, about crime and punishment, but also about conflicting desires and the irreversibility of a man's destiny.
