“A nightmarish film arranged in layers.”
—Viennale

“A mystical film, dark in its themes and luminous in its black-and-white treatment.”
RTBF

Shocking. Fascinating. Grotesque. At the age of 24, Belgian filmmaker and artist Thierry Zéno, under the influence of Rops and Pasolini, unleashed this most unspeakable object “about the life of a solitary man in love with a sow” onto an unsuspecting festival circuit. Banned in Australia, and likely many other countries if it ever had the chance to be released, VASE DE NOCES “can be classed among those most powerful artworks which imprint unforgettable images and wounds on the memory of the spectator” (Jacquelin Aubenas). North American Restoration Premiere.
