This is the story of a Finnish white supremacist who finds his prejudices challenged when he falls in love with a woman who has a bi-racial child. The trademark of director, Dome Karukoski, is his ability to infuse comedy into very big, serious ideas and this drama is no different.
Status: Single Danila Kozlovsky stars in this terrific oddball romantic comedy as stand-up comedian, Nikita Kolesnikov, who is convinced that he has finally met his true love at a variety night; unfortunately it turns out the feelings are not mutual and the movie charts the extraordinary lengths to which he goes to win her heart.
Victoria Part thriller, part heist, part romance, VICTORIA is simply a scintillating piece of filmmaking. Shot in one take, it features astonishing performances from Laia Costa and Frederick Lau. A casual flirtation between Victoria and Sonne, gives little sign of danger; but as the relationship develops a sinister world of danger begins to unfold which threatens to run out of control.
