Rosebush Pruning Karim Aїnouz's satire of wealth comes to Mubi this week, with a major cast of rich characters fit to eat.

Written by Efthimis Filippou (who co-wrote The Lobster , Dogtooth , and Alps with Yorgos Lanthimos ), Rosebush Pruning takes us to Catalonia, where an affluent extended American family lives a life of bacchanalian excess.

Like Succession and The End , there are childish grownups (Callum Turner, Lukas Gage, and Riley Keough), a haunted patriarch (Tracy Letts), and an outsider (Elle Fanning) who threatens the very foundations of this privileged life.

What could go wrong? — Shannon Connellan, Senior Editor Starring: Callum Turner, Riley Keough, Elle Fanning, Jamie Bell, Tracy Letts, and Pamela Anderson How to watch: Rosebush Pruning debuts on MUBI on Aug.
