SCAD Savannah Film Festival Closing Night Gala Screening
Academy Award-winning writer-director Martin McDonagh’s newest highly anticipated black comedy centers on a friendship shaped by decades of secrecy, loyalty, and moral compromise. Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) set out to Easter Island from Santiago. Amongst the island's iconic statues, as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways. A Searchlight Pictures release.
