HONEYGIVER AMONG THE DOGS

Spirituality and mystery commingle against a Himalayan backdrop in
a Bhutanese cinematic oddity that also happens to be directed by a
woman, Dechen Roder. Kinley, an impassive police officer, investigates
the disappearance of a Buddhist nun. All clues point toward Choden,
the village “demoness.” He sets out to track her down, but the suspect
thwarts his plans by immediately proposing a pact and a road trip. With
its disconcerting story and lyricism reminiscent of Apichatpong Weerasethakul,
the film is a phantasmagoria with feminist overtones.
