Most recently, Bana showcased his talent in A Sacrifice, where he starred alongside Sadie Sink and Sylvia Hoeks. This film, based on the novel Tokyo Nobody by Nicholas Hogg, was both written and directed by Jordan Scott, the daughter of the legendary Ridley Scott. The film’s official synopsis reveals that it follows the emotionally charged journey of Ben Monroe (played by Bana), an American social psychologist who delves into a local cult in Berlin connected to unsettling events. As he immerses himself in his investigation, his rebellious teenage daughter, Mazzy (Sink), finds herself entangled with a mysterious local boy, leading her into the city?s underground party scene. As their lives converge dangerously, Ben must race against time to protect his daughter.
Tyler Nichols, our film critic, praised A Sacrifice, expressing his anticipation for a film like it. He noted, ?Cult films often venture into absurd territory, and I was delighted to see A Sacrifice strike a balance between ethereal tones and a grounded reality.? He further elaborated, ?This movie is a profound character study that explores the intense transformations experienced by various individuals throughout the story. Anyone who interacts with the cult will undergo significant life changes. I recommend approaching this film with minimal prior knowledge. It?s a slow burn with a rewarding climax, featuring outstanding performances.? To read the entirety of his review, you can find it linked here.
