THE ASTOR REVIEW

Based on true events, young boys are stripped of their individuality, personal conviction, cognitive thought and at times their very humanity when sent to Bastoy; a correctional facility isolated on an island some 46 miles out of Oslo. It is at best a high security prison. Shot with attention to greyscale, the cold will permeate your bones from the very screen, even as tensions boil amongst the boys. TJ
