R16 No Notes
A young man in a personal tailspin flees the US to Italy, where he sparks up a romance with a girl hiding a dark secret. What begins as a naturalistic romance in an idyllic Mediterranean town, takes an unexpected turn as the two lovers confront figurative and literal relationship monsters. Balancing dark humor, heart, and visceral thrills, Spring evokes undercurrents of Beauty and the Beast by way of Linklater and early Cronenberg, while remaining its own cutting edge genre cinema.
R16 Horror, sex scenes, drug use and offensive language
"A cross between BEFORE SUNRISE and AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON"
TIMES LONDON
"A cousin to Richard Linklater's BEFORE SUNRISE trilogy, with little hints of Lynchian unease along the way...a film of envelope-pushing ambition and originality."
TIME OUT
"SPRING takes welcome risks with the creature-feature genre."
TORONTO STAR
"Every so often, a film comes along that takes so weird a turn that it completely discombobulates the viewer. SPRING is such a film."
RADIO TIMES
"A bloody black comedy with surprisingly insightful things to say about the heartbreaking power of fast-forged love."
