Arrow Films<\/strong> is delighted to announce that it will release critically acclaimed metaphysical noir thriller, ‘Cosmos’<\/strong>, directed by Andrzej \u017bu\u0142awski,<\/strong> in UK cinemas from 19th August 2016<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n

‘Cosmos’ follows two young men who arrive at a family-run guesthouse in rural France. Their anticipation of a few days peace and quiet is undermined by a variety of sinister occurrences. A small bird is found killed, its neck in a tiny noose, a strangely sexualized stain appears on a wall, and a slug crawls across the breakfast tray.<\/p>\n

\"022679\"Are these all signs comprising a portent of truly cosmic significance, or merely bizarre coincidences? And is it any wonder that one of the visitors, Witold (piercing-eyed Jonathan Genet) has such difficulty writing his novel, or that his companion Fuchs (Johan Lib\u00e9reau) prefers to find solace in earthier pleasures?<\/p>\n

\"097846\"The final film by the late Andrzej \u017bu\u0142awski<\/strong>, director of the legendary ‘Possession’ (the only Cannes-winning arthouse film to be officially classified as a video nasty), ‘Cosmos’ adapts Witold Gombrowicz<\/strong>\u2019s legendarily challenging novel into a beguilingly witty combination of (deceptively) light-hearted French farce and a complex, knowing reflection on the absurdities both of humanity itself and the way that we define our notion of the universe according to our individual hang-ups.<\/p>\n

\"070915\"Starring the C\u00e9sar double winning Best Actress Sabine Az\u00e9ma<\/strong> (‘Private Fears in Public Places’, ‘Smoking\/No Smoking’), Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Balmer<\/strong> (‘In the House’, ‘Madame Bovary’, ‘The Swindle’), Jonathan Genet<\/strong> (‘Les Chancelants’, ‘Vitalic: Fade Away’), Johan Lib\u00e9reau<\/strong> (‘Cold Showers’, ‘High Lane’, ‘The Witnesses’), Vict\u00f3ria Guerra<\/strong> (‘Sol de Inverno’, ‘Mar de Paix\u00e3o’, and ‘Dancin’ Days’) and Cl\u00e9mentine Pons<\/strong> (‘Spaghetti Man’, ‘Bonjour’), ‘Cosmos’ premiered in the UK at Kinoteka Polish Film Festival and was also nominated for Best Cinematography and Make-Up at this year\u2019s Sophia Awards as well as Best Undistributed Film for the Indiewire Critics\u2019 Poll.<\/p>\n
