Poster and trailer for controversial Polish drama Playground

December 5, 2017 by Gary Collinson

Ahead of its U.S. release this Friday, Uncork’d Entertainment has unveiled a poster and trailer for writer-director Bartosz M. Kowalski controversial and disturbing drama Playground, which presents a fictionalised account of the shocking 1993 murder of toddler James Bulger.

Final day of school in a small Polish town. It’s the very last chance for 12-Year-Old Gabrysia to tell her classmate that she had fallen in love with him. She sets up a secret meeting and blackmails her love interest to show up. But what was supposed to be an intimate talk spins out of control and this seemingly normal day in life of three ordinary elementary school students culminates in shocking and terrifying events.

Playground is set for release on VOD on December 8th.

Originally published December 5, 2017. Updated December 10, 2017.
