The international premiere of Stoker will close IFFR 2013 on Saturday 2 February. Tickets for the much anticipated English debut of South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-Wook (Oldboy, Thirst, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) are already available online.

Park has won many awards, including the Alfred Bauer Award of the Berlin film festival (for I’m a Cyborg) in 2007) and the jury prize of the Cannes film festival (for Oldboy in 2004 and Thirst in 2009).

Mysterious uncle
The closing film is a psychological drama/thriller starring Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre), Matthew Goode (A Single Man, Watchmen) and Nicole Kidman (The Hours, Moulin Rouge). Stoker is the script writing debut of actor Wentworth Miller (Prison Break).

Stoker is about the girl India (Wasikowska), whose father dies in an auto accident. Her Uncle Charlie (Goode), who she never knew existed, comes to live with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evelyn (Kidman). Soon after his arrival, India comes to suspect this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives, but instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless girl becomes increasingly infatuated with him.
