Romain Gavras' First Film Redheads to Rock and Shock with Violence and Rage

Director Romain Gavras' first film was once titled Notre Jour Viendra (Our Day Will Come) and now, simply Redheads (Twitch). Gavras is the same director who shot the video for MIA's "Born Free," which also had a strange, similar red-headed theme. The trailer below for Redheads shows a lost young man with his older mentor and part-time psychologist on a journey of violence. The film describes itself as "a search for an ideal, gradually escalates into a rampage of hate, violence and self-destruction" (Bloody). Have a watch of the surreal, but immerse yourself first with the film's synopsis to make sense of the film's French narration.

The synopsis for Redheads here:

"What do you do when you're a red-haired teenage loser with no friends except for an older guy, your shrink? When everyone hates you, especially your family? When all your peers make fun of you and kick you around? The answer: you and your loser buddy blow all the cash you can get your hands on to buy a sportscar, you dress smart and you head for the land of redheads, Ireland. But what starts off as a search for an ideal, gradually escalates into a rampage of hate, violence and self-destruction" (Bloody).

Release Date: September 15th (France Only).

Director: Romain Gavras.

Cast: Vincent Cassel, Olivier Barthelemy, Justine Lerooy, Vanessa Decat, Boris Gamthety, and Rodolphe Blanchet.
