Remarkably filmed with precise close-ups and fragmented sound design creating a sense of unnerving dissonance, Through and Through was enthusiastically received on release and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival where it was compared to Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. Radiance Films is proud to present Grzegorz Królikiewicz's film on Blu-ray for the first time in the world.
