Graham Moore, the Oscar®-winning screenwriter of The Imitation Game, turns director with this twisty Coen Brothers-style yarn that opens this year’s Glasgow Film Festival.
Leonard (Mark Rylance) is a master tailor who left England to run his own unassuming little shop in the windy city of Chicago. He now makes beautiful, hand-crafted garments for people who want the best and are willing to pay for it. His most loyal customers happen to be a clan of vicious gangsters who are associated with the organised crime syndicate known as The Outfit. The fewer questions asked, Leonard has found, the better.
One night there is a knock on the door. A favour is requested. A line is crossed. All hell breaks loose in the shop and Leonard must use all his wits to survive this fateful night.
Join us for this gripping tale of deception, double-dealing, murder and some very fine threads.
