Kill Me Please | Cinequest

Running time: 95 mins

It's funny—or not.

There's a chateau in a beautiful wooded part of the country, full of the strangest group of guests you can imagine. And all they want, every last one of them, is to die. Meet Dr Kruger (Aurelien Recoing). His clinic cum hotel is the last word in customer satisfaction; your last wish is his command. But this is a one-way clinic: there are no return customers. Taking "assisted dying" to surreal if not absurd lengths, this very black comedy is further proof that Belgian cinema can always be counted on to be just a little bit - different.

Shot in wide-screen black and white, featuring a terrific international cast including Zazie de Paris and Saul Rubinek (speaking French AND English), this is the last word in suicidal comedy. Really.
