Cult movie star Nicolas Cage is known for never turning down a pay check, having acted in a dizzying array of films with varying production value. His unique career is neatly encapsulated by having been nominated for an incredible ten Razzies (with two in 2012 alone for three turkeys), and one Oscar nomination and one win (Leaving Las Vegas, 1996). Nicolas Cage plays to his reputation as a star with seemingly unlimited acting talent in this action-packed comedy, where he plays none other than Nick Cage - channelling his iconic characters as he’s caught between a superfan and the CIA.

Cascadeuses
Director(s): Elena AvdijaCH85 min.2022

Being thrown down a flight of stairs, hit by a car, or beaten up is everyday life for stuntwomen. The scenes with burning cars or collisions are spectacular, but the roles in which they are beaten up are much harder to watch. Usually they play the role of the victim, because few action movies have female heroes. It’s a shocking and fascinating realization: stuntwomen are hired to endure violence, while the task of their male colleagues is to inflict it.
