In this existential thriller from director Vasilis Katsoupis and screenwriter Ben Hopkins (Marionette), Willem Dafoe takes a solo star turn as Nemo, an art thief locked inside a New York penthouse after a heist goes wrong. With little food, no water and an uncontrollable thermostat, Nemo struggles to survive, his hopes of escape dwindling. The film is completely on Dafoe’s shoulders, and for a majority of critics who saw the film’s festival premiere last week in Berlin, he delivers.
