One of the first absolute “Must See Films” of 2020! A spellbinding adaptation of Charles Willeford’s 1971 noir thriller from director Giuseppe Capotondi, THE BURNT ORANGE HERESY is both elegant and eloquent with delicious performances by Mick Jagger and Donald Sutherland that will have you riveted to the screen.
Charming and ambitious art critic, James Figueras (Claes Bang), has fallen from grace. He spends his days in Milan lecturing witless tourists about art history. His only glimmer of hope is a new-found love interest, the enigmatic American, Berenice Hollis (Elizabeth Debicki). An opportunity strikes when he is contacted by wealthy art dealer Joseph Cassidy (Mick Jagger) who summons James to his villa on Lake Como and asks him to steal a painting from the legendary reclusive artist, Jerome Debney (Donald Sutherland). Soon, James’ greed and ambition get the better of him, and he finds himself caught in a web of his own making.
Directed by Giuseppe Capotondi with script by Scott B. Smith, THE BURNT ORANGE HERESY stars Claes Bang, Elizabeth Debicki, Donald Sutherland, and Mick Jagger. Not to be overlooked is the work of cinematographer David Ungaro which is, in a word, glorious.
In theatres in NY and LA on March 6th
