There's something exhilarating about watching Marcus Söderlund's latest film morph from an uneasy-feeling silent drama to masterfully choreographed agro non-dance dance routine.
Shot in a single take, the promo for Mura Masa's punchy Teenage Headache Dreams sees a frustrated pair passion-fight under a quiet road bridge - transitioning to and from Ken Loach brutalism and Pina Bausch balletics throughout.
With the addition of interspersed sparks and VFX (plus even more electricity from the outstanding performers), this tight and intricately constructed film from the Academy director is a tough, thrilling watch.
