An official selection of the Telluride and Locarno Film Festivals, the latest caper from Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon (Lost in Paris, The Fairy) brings the classic film noir style to life with their colorful and whimsical touch, drawing inspiration from Tati and Keaton.
Abel plays Boris, a former activist hiding from his dark past, keeping in the shadows as a barkeeper until a one-armed vigilante finally hunts him down. The fortuitous appearance of a double – the depressive recluse Dom (also played by Abel) – seems to offer the perfect decoy. But his tenacious and loopy ex-wife, the private eye Fiona (Gordon), could foil their master plan.
