The Tribe, in select theaters on June 17, is unlike any movie you've ever seen. That's not hyperbole, and that's not us trying to prepare you for the greatest movie ever made, either. All we're saying is that The Tribe is, to put it simply, truly unique.

So what makes it so unique? Well, first -- check out its trailer. (Note: This trailer is mildly NSFW due to partial nudity.)

 

See, The Tribe has no dialogue, no music, and a minimalist sound design. Why? Because the entire film takes place at a Ukranian school for the deaf. And yes, the characters do use Ukranian sign language throughout the movie, but there are no subtitles to explain what they're talking about.

You're probably thinking that sounds like the most arthouse-y arthouse movie ever made, and you wouldn't be entirely wrong, but that's also kind of the point. The Tribe is essentially an experimental film that challenges the audience by removing all traditional means of language and asks them to interpret the story themselves.

The Tribe is not an easy movie to watch and it is an even harder movie to forget. If you like visceral, challenging moviegoing experiences, this one's for you.
