Bleeder

Leaving August 31 • 1h 37m

Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn • 1999 • Denmark
Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Kim Bodnia, Liv Corfixen

On the gritty margins of Copenhagen, two friends drift apart as violence and obsession take hold. Disaffected alcoholic Leo (Kim Bodnia) struggles with a crumbling relationship and growing rage, while shy film nerd Lenny (Mads Mikkelsen) retreats into his world of VHS tapes and fantasy. Boundary-pushing director Nicolas Winding Refn’s follow-up to his bombshell debut PUSHER is equally raw and unflinching in its potent look at masculinity, alienation, and the point where repression turns to eruption.
