Artsploitation Films has announced that it has acquired director Gem Deger’s bizarre and neon-soaked fantasy romance Playdurizm for release in North America.
The English-language Czech film blends violence, romance, sex and wry comedy into a story about a young man who awakens to finds himself in an exciting but troubling new reality. Watch the trailer here, but beware – it’s Not Safe For Work…
“I found this film a perfect slap in the face to conventional story-telling,” said Ray Murray of Artsploitation. “Gem Deger has put the surrealism back in story-telling and the danger back in romance and sex. If Gaspar Noé, Christophe Honoré and Xavier Dolan had a furious threesome, Gem could very well be their love child. We are excited to share this new talent with American audiences.”
Playdurizm will screen in upcoming film festivals as well as have a limited theatrical release through Virtual Cinema with DVD and Digital releases to follow later in the summer.
