女上司的欲望裂缝

 普特里一直只知道她的母亲萨里是一位才华横溢的塔罗牌占卜师，深受众多高官显贵和商界名流的信赖。她对萨里几乎没有任何私人记忆，直到萨里在一场事故中丧生。有一天，普特里收到了一条手机短信——来自她已故母亲的号码。起初，她以为这只是个恶作剧。但渐渐地，这些短信开始指引她未来的命运——而这些命运真的发生了。普特里慢慢意识到，这些短信确实是她母亲发来的。

　　「为什么大家讨厌警察？」男孩询问母亲。身为警察的史黛芬妮，负责的却是警察暴力与失职案件调查。2018年，一名青年随亲友来到巴黎参与街头抗议，却因警方开枪，导致永久性脑部损伤。家人提出指控，警方却矢口否认，关键证据亦是不足。内外压力夹攻之下，史黛芬妮仍奋力调查，调阅摄像头比对、还原警员动线，越逼近真相之际，同僚的敌意也越发强烈⋯⋯

　　Following her mother’s death, manga artist Soriya travels to her ancestral home in Phnom Penh, with hopes of reconnecting with her distant family and using the visit as inspiration for her work. All goes well initially. Renting an apartment in Metta, a rundown Khmer Rouge-era housing complex, her visit to her maternal relatives finds her welcomed with open arms. But Soriya’s waking hours in the apartment and its surroundings are punctuated by terrifying, bloody visions, almost as though she were a conduit for horrors of the past wanting to seep into the present.　　Inrasothythep Neth and Sokyou Chea’s blood-chilling psychological horror explores a personal and political past through the present, transforming a characterful space into an insidious environment. Surrounded by modern high-rises, this decrepit structure, with its brutalist architecture and peeling surfaces, is a relic from a dark period in history whose painful memories it has absorbed. In tracing Soriya’s ominous journey back to her roots, Tenement hints at a necessary reckoning with Cambodia’s political past without overplaying its historical dimension. It’s an impressive work from a woefully underrepresented national cinema.
