Episode Details

Kazakh director Aitore Zholdaskali is making waves at the Transilvania Film Festival with his solo debut, 'Sicko.' This hard-boiled crime thriller, about an internet scam gone wrong, is packed with blood. But Zholdaskali insists the on-screen violence pales in comparison to real life. He states, 'Life has much more to be afraid of.' The film, co-written with Kazybek Orazbek and Aldiyar Zhaparkhanov, follows a cash-strapped couple's disastrous get-rich-quick scheme. A bold claim from a director whose film promises a truly visceral experience.
