Heartless
Writer/director Philip Ridley makes a long overdue return to filmmaking with this gloriously ambitious mixture of psychological thriller, modern morality tale and graphic urban chiller. Jim Sturgess stars as a young amateur photographer whose life has been defined by the heart-shaped birthmark on his face. Having endured the taunts and prejudices of others on the vicious streets of London’s East End, he is offered a Faustian pact that grants him a beautiful girlfriend and a happy family. It seems too good to be true and that’s because it is. A mindblowing tale of eerie beauty and heartbreaking emotion that will haunt your dreams.
Thanks to Lionsgate.
