With Rosebush Pruning (2026), KARIM AÏNOUZ crafts a hypnotic and unsettling portrait of wealth, patriarchal violence and emotional decay. Set within the confines of an isolated family estate, the film moves between absurdity, discomfort and dark humour, questioning the structures that sustain privilege and power. In conversation with TIMI LETONJA and LEANDRO DA SILVA, the director reflects on isolation, masculinity, irony, aesthetics, casting and the emotional architecture behind one of his most provocative films to date.
