Schneider vs. Bax
24/9/2015, 18:00, Δαναός 1
A paid assassin is asked to kill a writer on his birthday but the soon-to-be victim receives an unexpected visit from his daughter. Naturally, nothing goes according to plan. Our favorite Dutch director orchestrates a feisty black comedy, starring himself.
On his birthday, paid assassin Schneider (Tom Dewispelaere), is contacted about a new job: an author named Bax (Alex van Warmerdam). Convinced he’s an easy kill, he takes the contract, believing he’ll be home in time to blow out the candles on his birthday cake. Meanwhile, the soon-to-be-victim is trying to get it together after a night of debauchery, in order to meet up with his daughter, who he hasn’t seen in a long time. Our favourite Dutchman Alex van Warmerdam ("Borgman", "Abel") returns to the big screen – and to the Athens International Film Festival after a full retrospective two years ago - in a sparkling black comedy full of plot twists.
