“Peter Strickland’s films are unmistakable in their visual style and brilliant narratives, and he consistently confronts audiences in a way that challenges and rewards each time,” said IFC Films president Arianna Bocco. “We are thrilled to continue to work with such a singular talent as Peter, and to partner with Bankside Films and the incredible filmmaking team who worked so hard to get this film off the ground.” IFC Films is seldom involved in projects at this early production stage, a sign of their confidence in Strickland’s vision.

The cast also includes Strickland regular Fatma Mohamed (who played the department store hostess in In Fabric), Makis Papadimitriou (Chevalier [+lire aussi :

), Leo Bill and Richard Bremmer. Its primary producers are Serena Armitage, of Red Breast Productions, and Pietro Greppi, of Lunapark Pictures.
