Expecting peace so he can study when he rents a room in a remote bunker, a student is instead persuaded to teach his landlord's peculiar son, which involves him in the bizarre family's affairs. - Kino International
With his surrealistic and dark, yet strangely heart-warming approach to one usual family's world, Der Bunker's director Nikias Chryssos may well be the nephew of John Waters and the illegitimate son of David Lynch and Luis Bu̮̱uel. A student rents a windowless room in a bunker home nestled deep within a forest. Here, instead of finding tranquility for his studies, the young man becomes increasingly involved in the dramas of his landlord's family. They include the stern father, his wife (whose swollen leg almost takes a life of its own) and their precocious 8-year-old son Klaus who, despite being German and "learning-challenged," is being home groomed to become the president of the United States. Initially friendly and welcoming, the situation becomes increasingly bizarre. A funny, visually arresting and a bit unsettling modern fairy tale.
