If you’re in the mood for watching Nicolas Cage waging war on hostile Australian surfers who stole his board, ride this wave all the way to the trailer above.
The Surfer, directed by Lorcan Finnegan (Nocebo, Vivarium) and written by Thomas Martin, is a psychological thriller and coastal Western that’s more than it appears on the surface. Set in the fictional beachside suburb of Luna Bay, Western Australia, the film sees Cage slowly melting into his signature brand of unhinged rage as he attempts to retrieve his board from a threatening gang of boardriders led by Julian McMahon.
As I wrote in my review for the film, “Everything about The Surfer‘s one-line pitch sounds ridiculous (Nicolas Cage versus mean Australian surfers), but the film itself is a haunting set piece about localism, repressed memory, and toxic masculinity, boasting the wild ride we’ve come to associate with Cage. It’s as far from a wipeout as you can get.”
The Surfer hits cinemas May 2.
