PLOT.OUTLINE...:

Unsentimental yet deeply humane, Free Radicals "brims with
energy, carefully drawn characters and fine acting" (The New
York Post). In this "bruising, moving Altmanesque drama"
(Time Out New York), writer/director Barbara Albert
passionately explores the intersection of chance and fate as
the seemingly unrelated residents of a suburban Austrian
community become linked by a chain of circumstances. Albert,
in her second film, subtly tempers cruel fate with "bright
flashes of compassion" (The Daily News) to create an
"intelligent, viscerally intellectual exercise" (The Village
Voice), "grounded in the gorgeous strangeness of real life"
(Film Comment).

Austrian housewife Manu's narrow escape from the catastrophic
consequences of "The Butterfly Effect" aboard an airliner
only sets her up for an even more shockingly random fate. As
the devastating results of a traffic accident transform
Manu's family and the young occupants of the other car, the
personal and circumstantial fallout envelopes an entire
community. Raw sexuality, burgeoning romance, suburban sprawl
and unsolved child abduction form a four-season dramatic
fresco that exposes the lonely yearning and thwarted
redemption ricocheting the human particles of Free Radicals
off of each other.

Boasting a first-rate cast featuring "scene stealer" (The New
York Post) Deborah Ten Brink as Manu's young daughter and
Michael Haneke regular Georg Friedrich (The Piano Teacher,
Dog Days) as her husband, Free Radicals walks a stylistic and
thematic tightrope suspended between open-hearted
spirituality and unblinking realism. Barbara Albert's keen
eye for physical detail and sympathetic ear for the muted
cries of modern isolation incisively enlivens Free Radicals
with "terrific visual and dramatic ideas." (The Village Voice)

TO.THE.SCENE...:

Recent events have shaken up considerably the scene as a
whole. While it is unfortunate, it is inevitable.
TheWretched will continue to pursue its goals and try to
bring you quality movies.

Also, we are aware that the few of you who read these
comments sometimes find them inappropriate; some even going
as far as to say we are condescending. (We love you SAPHiRE!)
I hope you all know we like to kid around a lot in this part
of our .nfo and that we are rarely trying to be negative.
Some points brought up in the past had a certain truth and
value to them we would back up any given day though.

But we all do make mistakes and as long as we try to keep it
civil, there should be no problem. Anyway, it would be nice
if groups in general strove to be a little more professional
in their endeavours and seek to help one another when in
need. We all can agree on this much ;)

RECRUITEMENT...:

Thank you to all of you who have shown interest in supporting
TheWretched in our previous recruitment campaign. We are
still looking for certain key elements to help out in making
our group even better. As one of the longest standing groups,
our new members get access to numerous exciting rewards the
scene has to offer. There are a few things we could use
additional help with at the present time; they are shown in
the list below.  If you're looking to partake in a pleasant
group with good fellows and give back to the scene, then by
all means, contact us. Unfortunately, we will not consider
taking on anymore US citizens as members. Sorry.
