Synopsis

Arthur and Suze are a young New York couple, whose encounter with a gang of thugs causes an immediate attraction towards its charismatic leader Teddy. Soon, their relationship takes an unexpected turn as couple’s sexual identities come into question on their journey to self-discovery. An homage musical odyssey to the 50s greaser films, director Amanda Kramer showcases her signature, striking technicolor visuals with unforgettable music score by Giulio Carmassi and Bryan Scary. Stellar performances are presented by Andrea Riseborough and Harry Melling as young couple, and Karl Glusman as Teddy, their object of desire. (Jongsuk Thomas NAM)
