BuzzLooking like an Irma Vep meets Femme Fatale, this co-directing film debut might looks like the guilty pleasure of the film festival. Hope to watch it with a sold crowd and hungry buyers looking for something that can only compliment their slate. 

The Gist: This shocking debut by director duo Carbon and Courtiaud is a seductive cat-and-mouse thriller set in Hong Kong, about a woman’s obsessive desire to own a rare object that hides a deadly and perverse secret.
