The Lure (2015)
"Córki Dancingu"

FREE SHOW in Marquee Cinema

This Polish horror musical film directed by Agnieszka Smoczyńska premiered in Poland on 25 December 2015 and was featured in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition section at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival winning the Special Jury Award for Unique Vision and Design. This film also won the Best Film award in the 2016 Fantasporto festival in Portugal.

In this bold, genre-defying horror-musical mashup — the playful and confident debut of Polish director Agnieszka Smoczynska — a pair of carnivorous mermaid sisters are drawn ashore in an alternate '80s Poland to explore the wonders and temptations of life on land. In a visceral twist on Hans Christian Andersen's original Little Mermaid tale, one sister falls for a human, and as the bonds of sisterhood are tested, the lines between love and survival get blurred. "Holding it all together is an exploration - always intriguing if not always coherent - of the myths and puzzles of female sexuality." - A.O. Scott, New York Times
