Drafthouse
Films acquired KLOWN following its Texas premiere at Fantastic Fest, where it
won "Best Picture" in the Comedy Features competition. The film also won "Best
Film" at Fantasia. It has recently been tapped for an English language remake
with Todd Phillips producing and starring Danny McBride.
Audiences will now have a chance to see the original boundary-busting
comedy sensation this summer.
Synopsis:
In what critics are
hailing as "the funniest movie of the year!" (IFC), KLOWN follows two wildly
inappropriate friends - played by celebrated international comedians Frank Hvam
and Casper Christensen - as they run amok through the Danish countryside plowing
through endless awkward confrontations and unspeakable debaucheries. Hopelessly
wrongheaded Frank "kidnaps" the 12-year-old nephew of his pregnant girlfriend in
an eager attempt to prove his fatherhood potential to join sex-crazed Casper on
his secret adulterous weekend canoe trip. From exclusive brothels,
hospitalizations, armed robberies and even prison, the three paddle downstream
from one chaotic misadventure to the next culminating in a surprise sentimental
portrait of friendship and a final shocking reveal that you won't soon unsee.
