Based on Joe R. lansdale’s cult-classic novel

Cold in July tells the story of Richard Dane, a small town frame builder from East Texas who is forced to kill a man in self-defense. He then meets Ben Russel, a rough ex-con and the father of the man Dane shot, who is hell-bent on avenging his son’s death. But small town corruption and paranoia turn these bitter ennemies into unlikely allies, as the two guilt-stricken fathers begin a search for truth, aided by Dane’s tough minded wife and a pig-raising detective from the back-woods of Houston. Before it’s all over, they uncover a bigger secret, darker and more dangerous than any of them could have imagined.

Not even with Mónica, his most steady relationship which has only lasted five months.When she reveals she is pregnant and that he is the likely father, Sebastián’s world takes a strange turn : he begins to have strange visions about his clients whenever he’s working on their doors. Some would call it a gift, but, for Sebastián, it feels more like a curse. Together with the help of Daisy, an unlikely assistant who very much wants to believe in his gift, he reluctantly sets out to use his talent for his own good.

“Saulnier has made a film of almost unbearable tension, a no-frills pressure cooker that rattles the senses not just for what occurs...but for what’s waiting just off screen at every turn.” THe PLAYLIST
“The best Coen Bros. noir since they were making them.” FILMFReAK CeNTRAL
“a lean and suspenseful genre piece... The script lures the viewer into an unnerving sense of complicity.” VARIeTY
“a tense, darkly comic and surprisingly esoteric revenge tale in the tradition of the Coen brothers’ Blood Simple, Blue Ruin displays Jeremy Saulnier’s serious capacity for complex genre cinema.” INDIewIRe
“I doubt we’ll see a more deft, thrilling genre film this year... It’s all incredibly smart. It is also violent, hilarious, very suspenseful and best of all, humane and thought-provoking...
The acting is superb...highly Recommended. ” TwITCH

MR. KAPLAN A FILM BY ALVARO BRECHNER
By the director of BAD DAY TO GO FISHING (Cannes Critics’ Week 2009)
Jacob Kaplan lives an ordinary life in Uruguay. Like many of his other Jewish friends, Jacob fled Europe for South America because of World War II. But now turning 76, he’s become rather grumpy, fed up with his community and his family’s lack of interest in its own heritage. One beach bar may, however, provide him with an unexpected opportunity to achieve greatness and recover his family’s respect in the community: its owner, a quiet, elderly German, raises Mr.Kaplan suspicion of being a runaway nazi. Ignoring his family’s concerns about his health, Jacob secretly recruits Contreras, a more loyal than honest former police officer, to help him investigate. Together, they will try to repeat the historic capture of Adolf Eichmann: by unmasking and kidnapping the German and secretly tak-ing him to Israel.
