An official selection of the Telluride and Locarno Film Festivals, the latest caper from Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon (Lost in Paris, The Fairy) filters the language of film noir through their characteristically colorful palette to create a series of deceptively minimalistic set pieces that recall the best of 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 for Boris, his resourceful partner Kayoko, and their faithful friend Tim. But his tenacious and loopy ex-wife, the private eye Fiona (Gordon), could foil their master plan. A Kino Lorber release
