SLEEPLESS NIGHT - SEPTEMBER 13th
SLEEPLESS NIGHT
Sleepless Night tells the story of Vincent, a
respected and dedicated police officer - or so it seems. After he and a
colleague are recognized while stealing a massive bag of cocaine from drug
dealers employed by local mob boss Marciano, Vincent quickly finds himself
trapped in a situation that no parent would envy: his son has been kidnapped
with the promise of execution if he doesn't immediately deliver the bag back to
its rightful owner. Vincent heads to Marciano's nightclub on the outskirts of
Paris to make the swap, but competing interests and misplaced loyalties soon
threaten to complicate the exchange. The ensuing game of cat-and-mouse quickly
spirals into madness, sprawling across every seedy back room and pulsating,
claustrophobic inch of the crowded dance floor. With enemies on all sides and
time working against him, the night to come might not only be the longest but
also the last of Vincent and his young son's life.
KLOWN - AUGUST 9th
KLOWN
In what critics are hailing as “the funniest movie
of the year!” (IFC), KLOWN follows two wildly inappropriate friends — played by
celebrated international comedians Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen — as they
run amok through the Danish countryside, plowing through endless awkward
confrontations and unspeakable debaucheries. Hopelessly wrongheaded Frank
“kidnaps” the 12-year-old nephew of his pregnant girlfriend in an eager attempt
to prove his fatherhood potential, and they join sex-crazed Casper on his secret
adulterous weekend canoe trip. Rampaging through exclusive brothels,
hospitalizations, armed robberies and even prison, the three paddle downstream
from one chaotic misadventure to the next, all culminating in a surprisingly
sentimental portrait of friendship and a final shocking reveal that you'll
never be able to unsee.
