PEACOCK
Bernhard Wenger
2024 / 1H42M / OSCILLOSCOPE LABORATORIES / GERMAN (WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES)
At MyCompanion, the cultured and confident Matthias is available—for a reasonable fee—to fill any social role you desire, from “the perfect son” to “the enlightened boyfriend,” or even “pilot dad” to impress your classmates at Bring Your Parent to School Day. But while Matthias is at the top of his professional game, his personal life begins to crumble as he detaches from his own identity and burrows deeper into his fictitious lives.
Bernhard Wenger’s Peacock is a biting and hilarious social satire about the masks we wear in the pursuit of human connection.
PRAISE FOR PEACOCK
“Wenger’s script is a sly, finely balanced thing, pointedly and often hilariously poking fun at corporate and capitalistic ideals of self-improvement and social coordination, without ridiculing the individuals who feel beholden to those standards.” – Guy Lodge, Variety
