I organized an AMA/Q&A with Polish filmmaker Jan Komasa. He was nominated for the Best International Film Oscar in 2019 for Corpus Christi and also directed 2025's dystopian political-thriller Anniversary (starring Diane Lane, Kyle Chandler, Dylan O'Brien, McKenna Grace, Phoebe Dynevor, Zoey Deutch, Daryl McCormack, and Madeline Brewer)
His newest movie, Heel, is a dark-comedy horror-thriller that premiered at TIFF last year and just came out in select theaters and on demand last week. It stars Stephen Graham, Andrea Riseborough, and Anson Boon. It was previously titled Good Boy.
It's live here now in /r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He'll be back at 2 PM ET today (Tuesday 3/16) to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Synopsis:
A dysfunctional couple kidnap a 19-year-old criminal, chain him up in their basement and subject him to a violent and twisted rehabilitation process. As he complies with their relentless mind games, he frantically searches for a way to escape.
