A vibrant Pixar-inspired montage in which a mother, unable to confront the heartbreak of her son leaving for college, delays his departure by making him sick. Unfortunately, she goes too far and is forced to face the unfathomable consequences of her selfishness.

Munchausen toed a fine style line - eerie perfection. We built our main characters' bedroom sets to control every aesthetic detail and allow for intricate camera moves and in-camera tricks. From the opening cross-stiched title card to the absurd teenage posters on the walls to practical camera tricks, Muchausen was delightfully meticulous filmmaking. Written and directed by Ari Aster, starring Rachel Brosnahan, Liam Akin and Bonnie Bedelia.
