ANGELIKA’S NOTE

The magnificently stunning directorial debut of Asif Kapadia (SENNA, AMY), BAFTA Award winner THE WARRIOR is a wonder to behold. Featuring a brilliant performance from Irrfan Khan (THE LUNCHBOX, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE) as the Warrior himself, the film tracks his story as prey in a murderous hunt through the Himalayas, man versus man, and man versus nature itself. "He [Kapadia] is a talent to watch and his film demands to be seen" (The Guardian).
