The first trailer arrives for a birthday party, and Willem Dafoe is blown away to a private Mediterranean island. And it’s a party heading for disaster. Please read the trailer above and read the information.
The late 70s excess of isolated real estate: fireworks, string quartets, seas at dusk, and father and daughter standoffs are brewed under all champagne fizzes. Dafoe is Marcos Timoleon. He is a homemade shipping tycoon set on a luxurious birthday for his sole heir, Sofia (Vic Carmen Sonne). Events set for more than 24 hours will appear in Prendatory from Gilded and slide as Guests Angle for The Night Spirals. Dafoe leads the ensemble, including Joe Cole, Emma Suárez, Carlos Cuevas and Christos Stergioglou.
The film comes from Spanish filmmaker Miguel Angel Zimenez (Sea through the Window) and directs and co-writes the adaptation of the 2007 novel of the same name.
Dafoe’s casting is intentionally left field. “Me? Are you playing Greek shipping big names? I don’t think so,” he says. However, he was the “rich portrait” of the center and the “rich portrait” of the film, which Marcos embodied. “I usually don’t respond to family dramas, but it’s more than that…it’s quite biting,” he says. “It’s (about) ambition, legacy. And it’s what makes a man. And it’s what defeats him too.”
For Zimenez, “The huge distance between my own life and the Timoleon universe was a truly fascinating challenge for me.” His “conviction completely rejected this wealthy, brutal, frivolous, false, self-serving caste,” he hoped to “depict them in the most human and endless way possible.”
Greek – Span – Ducci – The film, co-produced by Kuk, was filmed in Corfu and Athens, premiered in Locarno and also screened in Sarajevo. Heresy and Bankside handle global sales. It will be released on HBO Europe and HBO Max after a play development across various territories.
