Rat Winter

About This Movie

So, 'Rat Winter' is this gritty little piece from 1988 that dives into some dark corners of urban life. It’s not your typical crime drama. You've got these two guys picking up really young girls, and right off the bat, it sets this heavy tone. The pacing is uneven, but in a way that mirrors the chaos of street life. There's this standout moment where one girl fights back, and it’s raw, almost uncomfortable. The performances are quite real, not overdone, which adds to the authenticity. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can feel the desperation. It’s a film that doesn’t hold back on its themes of exploitation and survival.
