THE CATECHISM CATACLYSM
Sundance hit from Todd Rohal, director of The Guatemalan Handshake, makes its order cialis online without prescription International Premiere tonight!
The quiet, absurdist humour that ran through Todd Rohal’s indie sleeper The Guatemalan Handshake gets an ecclesiastical roundhouse-to-the-head in this bizarre tale of a young priest named Billy Smoortster (Steve Little, Eastbound and Down) and his uncomfortably hilarious response to an increasing crisis of confidence. When advised to take a much-needed vacation after upsetting the parishioners with urban legends and youtube clips, the friendless Father Billy tracks down his highschool idol – a former heavy metal ladykiller turned ice capades roadie – who’s been similarly short-shrifted in life. With the proverbial twisted path down the river before them, the two mismatched camping partners go through various adventures that vacillate between the strange and the apocaplyptic (including an homage to Katsuhito Ishii’s Funky Forest!)
The first outing from Rough House Pictures – David Gordon Green’s company with Danny McBride and Jody Hill – THE CATACHISM CATACLYSM makes its International Premiere July 25 at 7:40pm and screens again on July 30 at 2:30pm, both in the Salle JA buy levitra in india DeSeve.
