An other-worldly score and dreamlike imagery make this a film like no other. In a remote mountain village, teenage Sangay is being driven slowly mad by the men around her - her teacher, her married lover and her father, a traditional craftsman of wooden phalluses. This scathing critique on rural patriarchy is complemented by powerful excursions into fantasy. A penetrating eye on ‘The Happy Kingdom’ of Bhutan.

'Visually striking and remarkably symbolic' - Hollywood Reporter

'Poetic in appearance and earthbound in its observations about social problems, The Red Phallus is a taut and gripping debut.' - Hollywood Reporter

'I live in a world that is obsessed with phallic symbols. In the film, the phallus as

a symbol is a grim reminder of the presence of violence underneath the silence

and stillness.' - Tashi Gyeltshen

Mae sgôr arallfydol a delweddaeth freuddwydiol yn gwneud hon yn ffilm heb ei hail. Mewn pentref mynyddig anghysbell, mae Sangay sydd yn ei harddegau yn cael ei gyrru'n wallgof yn araf gan y dynion o'i chwmpas - ei hathro, ei chariad priod a'i thad, crefftwr traddodiadol ffalysau pren. Yn cyflenwi’r feirniadaeth ddeifiol hon ar batriarchaeth wledig mae yna bleserdeithiau pwerus i ffantasi. Cipolwg treiddgar i ‘Deyrnas Hapus’ Bhutan.
