THE SURFER (englische OV) // Fantasy Filmfest White Nights // Nicolas Cage // Deutschlandpremiere

In the organizer's words:


German premiere
The Surfer

Nicolas Cage aka "The Surfer" wants to show his teenage son the Australian dream beach of his childhood. But it is occupied by aggressive locals who beat up anyone who moves their board towards the waves. The anti-gentrification credo of nasty local patriot Scully (Julian McMahon) is that anyone who doesn't settle down here is not allowed in the water. When Cage is unwilling to back down, the increasingly ruthless harassment of Scully's supporters puts the otherwise righteous man under pressure. Until he finally bursts his collar!

Lorcan Finnegan's (VIVARIUM) wonderfully exaggerated revenge film created a great party atmosphere in the Midnight section of the Cannes Film Festival. It's 99 minutes of full screen presence for the Oscar winner with his now unerring instinct for roles that are literally tailor-made for him. "All I want is to take my son surfing, that's all!" Exactly!
