The Unscarred

For his third feature film - and first outside his native Staten Island - writer/director Buddy Giovinazzo delivered an intense new take on alienation, desperation and retribution: In 1979, a shocking accident rocked the student exchange program at Stanford University and forever changed the trajectory of four young lives. Twenty years later, an impromptu reunion in Berlin will turn the sins of the past into an explosion of lust, deception, dark secrets and cold-blooded murder. (Severin Films)
