WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
Smooth-talking petty thief Jesus Quintana (Turturro), newly released from prison, goes on an epic crime spree with his best friend Petey (Cannavale), picking up free-spirited hairdresser Marie (Tautou) along the way. The three of them travel across the rural backroads of New York, occupied with the nature of free love and happiness, and whatever it takes to achieve those things…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
Both a remake of the 1974 French film Going Places and a spin-off of the Coen Brothers’ beloved cult comedy The Big Lebowski, John Turturro takes centre stage as he returns to his breakout character from the latter film – “nobody f**ks with the Jesus”!
