6. The Sparrow in the Chimney | Rotten Tomatoes

• A film dipped in venom, often funny and deeply unsettling in how it portrays families who don't feel the need to hide their vitriol behind pleasantries.

• Karen lives with her husband Markus and their children in her idyllic childhood home. Karen's sister Jule and her family are visiting for Markus' birthday. The two women could not be more different. Grim reminders of their deceased mother incite Jule's rebellion against her domineering sister. As the house gradually fills with life and a sparrow in the chimney seeks a way out to freedom, Karen becomes increasingly tense -- until it all comes to a head and the old is destroyed to make room for the new.

• Ramon Zürcher's latest directorial effort probes the troubled subconscious of an extended family as they turbulently clash at a tense party in the idyllic countryside. His third entry into what is now loosely called the "animal trilogy" takes a symbolic approach to the story, elaborate allegory and mistimed theatrics taking a toll on the viewer's rapport with the characters. Despite having a cast of impressive intensity and gracefully capturing nature's radiance, The Sparrow In The Chimney displays a stiff sensibility that flattens its ambitious exploration of familial turmoil.
