Lansdown
Directed by Tom Zuber
A critically acclaimed hit of this year's festival circuit, Lansdown has been hailed as “a wonderfully eccentric revenge thriller…” —Toronto Film Festival
Following the conventions of a revenge thriller but told from an odd angle, skewed towards skillfully inserted details.Defense lawyer, Jake Jorgensen, learns of his wife’s infidelity when he hears her orgasmic escapades on an audiotape made by a former client. As Jake tries to reclaim the life he prized by killing his wife’s lover, his carefully constructed façade begins to unravel. His former client refuses to do the hit because it will violate his parole; instead, he brings three amateur hit men into the mix. The ‘simple job’ turns complicated, raising the stakes for Jake and forcing him to take matters into his own hands. |
