Ham on Rye
Tyler Taormina, USA, 2019o

A bizarre rite of passage at the local deli determines the fate of a generation of teenagers, leading some to escape their suburban town and dooming others to remain.
Tyler Taormina’s feature debut reveals a director who films like a crack Hollywood craftsman and thinks like an alien, excelling at turning the familiar into the unfamiliar: the sun-glazed tropes of the Californian teen movie give way to a ceremonial reckoning, the all-American celebration of prom becomes an uncanny ritual, and even a perfectly banal ham on rye sandwich comes across as sinister fare.
