International Film Showcase
- Headhunters
- May 18th-24th
- The Orinda Theatre
Save for a somewhat diminutive stature, Roger is a man who apparently has it all; he's Norway's most successful headhunter, married to the exceedingly beautiful gallery owner Diana, has a far too expensive villa and must, to keep his head above water financially, steal a little too much art. Clas Greve is the perfect candidate for Rogers's new recruitment assignment, being a former elite soldier and chief executive in the electronics business. He's also in possession of a very valuable painting. Robert eyes a chance to permanently get rid of his financial worries and begins planning his final, greatest score. But it turns out that Greve is playing games as well. When Roger breaks into Greves house, he finds something that changes his life completely, and soon forces him to run for his life. Starring Aksel Hennie who portrayed Max Manus the Showcase's opening film of the same name in January 2011. Contains adult content. With English subtitles.
