Black comedy in which an artist convinced of his own genius issues invitations to his greatest performance yet - his own death. K. Roth Binew (Mike O'Connell) leads an existence few would consider glamorous or divinely ordained, but that isn't the way Binew sees things. Binew is sure of two things: that he is an artistic genius and that he will die on this day. As a consequence, he enlists his long-suffering friend, Mills Joquin (Jesse Eisenberg), to drive him around town on a rickshaw. From his moving platform Binew announces to all and sundry the special performance he intends to give that night. Will he finally live up to his promises of greatness or be unmasked as delusional?

 Starring Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) and comedian Mike O'Connell (Funny People) director Sol Tryon's critically acclaimed debut feature is a timeless fairy tale with a biting sense of humour sure to be a cult classic. When self-proclaimed genius K. Roth Binew (O'Connell) learns his life will be cut short by a grave but unnamed illness he decides to go out in style - with a living wake. Accompanied by his faithful assistant Mills (Eisenberg) K. Roth spends his final day on earth revisiting all the people who touched his life - from the village prostitute to his estranged mother - in order to invite them to his grand finale. certificate 12 years and over director Sol Tryon languages English Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.
