Synopsis

Narvel Roth is a meticulous horticulturist who is devoted to tending the grounds of a beautiful estate and pandering to his employer, the wealthy dowager Mrs. Haverhill. When she demands that he take on her wayward and troubled great niece, it unlocks dark secrets from a buried violent past.

“Master Gardener” is the third instalment in Paul Schrader's thematic trilogy that began with his 2018 drama “First Reformed,” and continued with “The Card Counter.” These films, as so many of Schrader's works, all explore solitary men in search of grace and redemption in an often brutal world.

Schrader's impressive career has involved long collaborations with Martin Scorsese, writing the screenplay for both Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, among others.
