“An armed man breaks into the offices of a mortgage company and takes the president of the company hostage, threatening him with a shotgun connected to his own neck by a wire mechanism.”
Prior to the screening in Venice, the director told the media about his project:
“There are extreme reactions to certain things, which I can't always understand, across generations. That happened after we scheduled the movie; it was in December, during the shooting of [Luigi] Mangione, and we had started right before, in September, and we were moving to Louisville, Kentucky, where we were filming. We realized we were doing something similar. “I was talking to almost everyone my age about accepting that particular Mangione incident and who the CEO of the healthcare company was, and the person I was talking to had friends who knew him.”
You can find the trailer at the end of the note.
