Elle Fanning, Callum Turner, Riley Keough and Jamie Bell star in Karim Aïnouz's stylish, savage family satire about the coddled existence of four wealthy siblings. Berlinale 2026.

In a luxe Catalonian villa, four rich and toxically co-dependent American siblings lounge around obsessing over designer clothes. Their blind father (Tracy Letts) issues odd demands from the sidelines, leaving eldest boy Jack (Bell) to hold the family in place. When he announces he's moving out with his girlfriend (Fanning), it sends the household reeling. As old secrets emerge, including the truth about their mother's (Pamela Anderson) death, the siblings' coddled existence begins to crack. Directed by Aïnouz (Motel Destino, SFF 2024) and written by Yorgos Lanthimos collaborator Efthimis Filippou (inspired by Italian classic Fists in the Pocket), Rosebush Pruning is a delicious satire of privilege and patriarchy.

“Ferocious fun. A fabulous feast for the eyes and ears.”

Stephen A. Russell, Time Out
