Vergessen: The Director's Cut

Vergessen: The Director's Cut

Beyond the shadows, the power shifts.

2025 · 22 min · Horror, Thriller

A group of women are trafficked into a state-run brothel, operating as a totalitarian honeytrap to blackmail the rich and powerful. But when a crack in their confinement allows them to see beyond the shadows, the balance of power begins to shift. Vergessen: The Director’s Cut represents filmmaker Michael Fausti’s preferred vision for Vergessen. The film pays vivid homage to the provocative aesthetics of 1970s European arthouse cinema, echoing the dark, psychological tension of Liliana Cavani’s The Night Porter and the stylised subversion of Tinto Brass’s Salon Kitty.
