Fögi Is a Bastard
Alternative title: F. est un salaud

Directed by Marcel Gisler

Beni falls for Fögi, an older, self-absorbed lead singer of a rock band. He follows him into a toxic downward spiral.
Based on the novel ter fögi ische souhung by Martin Frank. Buy the book on Amazon.
Fögi Is a Bastard is a dark, emotionally punishing Swiss drama about obsession, power and a deeply destructive relationship. Marcel Gisler avoids romanticising the abuse at its centre, and although the film can be difficult to endure, the performances give its portrait of dependence a disturbing credibility.
