OFFSCREEN ON TOUR 2020 | Offscreen
A selection of several films at different locations.
VIVARIUM
Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots play a young couple whose encounter with an unnaturally cheerful realtor leaves them trapped in a perfect suburban housing estate. And there’s worse to come. "The Twilight Zone" meets Samuel Beckett in this pastel-coloured nightmare anchored by a terrific performance from Poots.
NIGHT TIDE
Young Dennis Hopper plays a sailor who falls in love with a carnival mermaid in this eerie low-budget debut by Curtis Harrington ("What’s the Matter With Helen?"), filmed on and around the boardwalks of Santa Monica. But will he meet the same fate as her previous boyfriends, who have all come to watery ends?
TRANCERS
"Jack Deth is back… and he’s never even been here before." Square-jawed Tim Thomerson stars in this smashing B-movie as a future cop who pursues a time-tampering villain back to 80s Los Angeles, where he’s turning folk into zombielike "trancers". Future Oscar-winner Helen Hunt shows Deth the 80s ropes.
JE T'AIME, JE T'AIME
A suicidal man agrees to take part in a time travel experiment, only for a technical glitch to leave him ping-ponging hopelessly around in his own memories. Alain Resnais’ SF conundrum, filmed in Belgium, is as haunting and enigmatic as you’d expect from the director from "Last Year at Marienbad".
SONATINE
In Kitano’s breakthrough film, the cult actor-director plays a yakuza enforcer sent by his Tokyo boss to Okinawa. After an ambush, he and fellow survivors seek refuge at the beach, where they play children’s games. Genre thrills evolve into the alternately lyrical and brutal character study of a damned soul.

JESUS SHOWS YOU THE WAY TO THE HIGHWAY
Two CIA agents get more than they bargain for when they plug their brains into social media to combat a Russian computer virus called "Stalin". Miguel Llansó’s lo-tech retro-SF action-comedy is a glorious multi-level mindfuck of Philip K. Dick, Afrofuturism and giant houseflies; filmed in Ethiopia, Estonia, and Spain.

IT COMES
Hideki presents himself on his blog as a perfect family man, but the reality will blow your mind in Tetsuya Nakashima’s demented supernatural thriller.

TWELVE MONKEYS
Bruce Willis plays a psychiatric patient who claims he has been sent back from the year 2035 to save mankind from being wiped out by a virus. Terry Gilliam’s ambitious epic stirs "La Jetée" and "Vertigo" into an intoxicating brew of time travel, romance, red herrings and derring-do.
