What's Happening?
The film 'Rosebush Pruning,' directed by Karim Aïnouz, explores the dynamics of a wealthy, dysfunctional family through its unique costume design. The film, co-written by Efthimis Filippou, draws inspiration from the 1965 film 'Fists in the Pocket' and
features a satirical take on the 'eat the rich' theme. Costume designer Bina Daigeler crafted the wardrobe to reflect the characters' obsession with fashion, using a mix of vintage and designer pieces. The costumes play a crucial role in illustrating the family's complex relationships and individual personalities.
Why It's Important?

This focus on fashion not only enhances the film's visual appeal but also deepens the audience's understanding of the characters' motivations and conflicts. The film's exploration of these themes may resonate with viewers, prompting reflection on societal values and personal identity.
