John Curry transformed ice skating from a dated sport into an exalted art form. Coming out on the night of his Olympic win in 1976, he became the first openly gay Olympian in a time when homosexuality was not even fully legal. Toxic yet charming; rebellious yet elitist; emotionally aloof yet spectacularly needy; ferociously ambitious yet bent on self-destruction, this is a man forever on the run: from his father's ghost, his country, and even his own self. Above all, an artist and an athlete whose body time and time again - sometimes against his will - becomes a political battlefield.

Swallow your fear... EMR is the first UK film to be simultaneously released in cinemas on the internet and on DVD. Erskine and McCullough's debut feature is a deft thriller that cleverly weaves together a host of urban myths - from kidney-stealing and alien abduction to manipulative drug corporations; this is a paranoiac's wonderland. Reminiscent of Jacob's Ladder and with shades of Donnie Darko the plot winds its way Rubik's cube-like to a satisfyingly twisted climax... At times sinister surprising and striking and with an endearingly hapless hero EMR is a refreshingly British take on the thriller that will make you think twice the next time you knock back a couple of aspirin!
