Set in Orange County, California, in an age where America has lost its �war on drugs', a reluctant undercover cop is ordered to start spying on his friends, the consequence of which is a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities and loyalties are impossible to decode and even your own motives become unclear.

ALEXANDER THE GREAT (1980)

Certification12 Our Rating

"Angelopoulos’ sixth film, the Golden Lion award winning Alexander The Great (O Megalexandros, 1980), is a perfect case in point.

ANTIBODIES (2005)

Certification18 Our Rating

When serial killer Gabriel Engel is captured a rural cop travels to the big city to question him about an unsolved murder in his home village, but finds himself being drawn deeper and deeper into a psychological game of cat-and-mouse that threatens his sanity, his faith and the lives of those he loves the most.
