At the Castle of Gormenghast, the Groan family has ruled with dusty ceremony for more than seventy generations. A clever and ambitious new kitchen boy, Steerpike, begins to insinuate himself into the affections of Lady Fuchsia Groan and to murder his way to power.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gorgeously grotesque descent into a rotting castle ruled by ritual and inhabited by the strange and doomed. This is a fever dream that revels in its own baroque decay, watching corruption flower under ornate stone.
