Harry, He’s Here to Help

Directed by Dominik Moll

Described by its director as “a cross between Patricia Highsmith and the Coen brothers”, the noir comedy HARRY mixes laughter with suspense and a huge helping of Hitchcock. Michel (Lucas) and his wife are having the typical family holiday from hell. Until they run into one of Michel’s old schoolfriends Harry (Catalan actor López of UNE LIAISON PORNOGRAPHIQUE). Harry comes to the rescue with charm, cash and an offer to help Michel make all his troubles disappear… A clever script, witty design, perfect cast and a sublime soundtrack by Hammer composer David Whitaker add up to great entertainment with a decidedly dark edge.
