Video: Ali Abbassi’s Border | 2018 Cannes Film Festival

The surprise hit of the Un Certain Regard and kudos to the Benicio del Toro led jury on giving the section’s top honors, Ali Abbassi‘s sophomore film Border (Gräns) follows in the footsteps of another genre mixer in 2016’s Shelley (which preemed at the Berlin Film Fest) and this primer for empowerment and breaking out of your shell certainly reminds of another zany Danish offering in Men & Chicken. NEON landed the rights to the film mid-fest. Here is footage from the world preem presentation.
