Popcorn Taxi: '44 Inch Chest '+ Q&A With Actor Ray Winstone

POPCORN TAXI PRESENTS:
'44 INCH CHEST'
+ audience Q&A with award-winning actor
RAY WINSTONE
Live from London.

Provocative, outrageously profane and surprisingly tender amidst an explosion of unbridled testosterone, '44 INCH CHEST' is a visceral and darkly comic exploration of the masculine ego at breaking point, testing whether fear is stronger than love.

Colin (Ray Winstone) is in agony, shattered by his wife’s (Joanne Whalley) infidelity. However, he has friends who do more than stand by - they kidnap the wife's French lover (Melvil Poupaud) and hold him prisoner so that Colin can restore his manhood with revenge. Old Man Peanut (John Hurt), is the Biblical patriarch of the group, with a mean streak; Meredith (Ian McShane), is stylish and tough - a fashion victim with a cutting edge; Mal (Stephen Dillane), is a man who lives in the shadows and explodes with telling, quick violence. As the hostage situation escalates, so do the emotional stakes for each of these damaged, prideful men.

Combining the coruscating menace and wit of 'Sexy Beast' with the bold storytelling of 'Trainspotting' and the razor-sharp conflicts of 'Reservoir Dogs', '44 INCH CHEST' marks the debut feature of noted photographer and filmmaker Malcolm Venville.
