The first GRITTY UNDERGROUND feature film ever in Denmark - no budget - no problem! It plumbs the depths of its dark themes with passionate, convincing performances, LAST EXIT is a gritty, sexy psychological thriller. Its antihero is Nigel, an incompetent criminal. He and his wife Maria shack up at a hotel, while each struggles separately with a drug problem. Maria manages to get a straight job, and Nigel gets a gig storing illegal goods for a local crime boss known as the President. Things heat up when Nigel falls for Tanya, a prostitute who works for the President, and their affair makes him ever more distant from Maria. The stage is set for a sex and violence-fueled descent into mayhem that remains intelligent throughout, as the plot twists and secrets are revealed. Maria gets pregnant and Nigel starts to snap, and the only sane one seems to be Jimmie, Nigel's existential pot dealer... "GOOD TASTE MADE BAD TASTE!" - Peter Jackson

The award-winning Nordic Noir from writer/director David Noel Bourke. Jens has accepted far too much for too long. Being the shy night-owl he is, he keeps to himself, but the world will not let him be. The new master baker's quality starts slackening, and when a bunch of yobs one day smash the window of Jens's car, he takes one of them out. Intoxicated by his own new unexpressed vigour, Jens comes out of his shell, but the destructive driving force leads him towards a free fall. + WINNER! BEST MALE ACTOR (Mikkel Vadsholt) at NIFF + WINNER! BEST OF YEAR at Oniros + WINNER! BEST FOREIGN FEATURE FILM - MARYLAND INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL + Nominated for Méliès d’Argent AWARD "BAKERMAN is a Nordic "Falling Down".

MovieDramaAction
A haunting fairy-tale thriller set between snowy landscapes and a neon city. A KINKY SLICE OF PULP-SATIRE! The film is laced with pitch black humor - and doesn't take itself too seriously - you shouldn't either - nods and winks to many previous pulp/exploitation thrillers of yesteryear - and yes there is some very naughty sex scenes - MOVIE IS NOT FOR KIDS! When Monella by chance saves Nina from being raped their lives take an unexpected turn. They begin a passionate love affair and together they begin to plan how to steal Nina's boyfriend's drug money . Unfortunately , nothing goes as planned and suddenly everyone is in the midst of a dark tangle of revenge and betrayal ... Cinetrange Magazine: "A curious European blend of David Lynch, John Dahl and Quentin Tarantino." MJ Simpson: "A clever, tightly honed script combines with assured direction and a central quartet of excellent performances make No Right Turn a real joy to watch."
