Synopsis

Synopsis

Our take

Exploring the youth culture of 21st-century Berlin through five energetic episodes, this anarchic anthology film is a monument to bad taste. Taking in conniving hand models, rhino tranquilizers, and a Satanist called Fred, Black Sheep is a wild urban odyssey that revels in the absurd and grotesque.
