Get fitted for a straitjacket and put down a deposit on a rubber room, as Tales That Bind takes you on a brain-bruising journey through a series of mad relationships, giving elegantly sinister cinematic form to stories of psychological dissolution and torment. A program of European cult classics from horror maestros of the old guard (Dario Argento, Robin Hardy) and the new (Julia Ducournau, Agnieszka Smoczyńska), as well as underseen gems like J. A. Bayona’s insidious 2007 The Orphanage, in which cinema’s singular aptitude for evoking the experience of slipping into psychosis can be experienced in all of its harrowing majesty.
