You drive by a burnt-out car on the side of the road, family beside it, a catastrophe has obviously occurred – what do you do? If you’re the family in the fancy car listening to Slavoj Zizek interviews on your ride back from the airport, you drive on by. Who are these people who drive on by? Family Therapy sets out to investigate that question. The film revolves around a nouveau riche family living in a literal glass house. When Julien, the patriarch’s son from another relationship, arrives at the family home, his presence disrupts their delicate balance, revealing cracks in their staid façade and upending their life of detached superiority.
Writer-Director Sonja Prosenc’s latest is a fantastic, hilarious play on the premise of Pasolini’s Teorema. Leaning into the satirical, the film features wonderful performances, especially from Marko Mandic as the patriarch and Aliocha Schneider as the young interloper. Beautifully shot and finely edited, Family Therapy doesn’t just question the actions of those who don’t stop to help; it also probes the reasons behind their choices.––Jason Gutierrez
