MR. K

Mr. K, a travelling magician, finds himself in a Kafkaesque nightmare when he can’t find the exit of the hotel he slept in.

Played by Crispin Glover, Mr. K's attempts to get out of the shrinking hotel only pull him deeper inside, entangling him further with the hotel and its curious inhabitants, including women who claim to be French but have British accents, a flamboyant artist named Gaga, and a kitchen worker named Anto, whose only ambition is to become a whisker of eggs. With incredible production design, this absurdist surreal film from Norwegian filmmaker Tallulah Hazekamp Schwab had its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival in the Platform competition.
