AMERICAN GOTHIC

Cult photographer Carlos Batts updates Grant Wood's iconic painting in this dark, visually disturbing horror film. The original masterpiece was a satirical comment on American life, and Batts intensifies this satire by imagining a new story to accompany the work. A farmer battles his conscience over a past crime of passion, whose dire effects haunt him terribly. Batts's visually compelling, utterly disturbing film is accompanied by his third book of photographs, which exhibit a similarly macabre sensibility. With an anachronistic style that freely mixes elements of high and low culture, Batts eschews common standards of beauty to explore darker realms that often go overlooked.
