THE UNKNOWN MAN OF SHANDIGOR

“A magnetic curio, a fascinating relic of a vanished strain of European cinema.” - Glenn Kenny, New York Times

Swiss director Jean-Louis Roy’s long-lost Cold War spy thriller is a marvelous and surreal hall of mirrors with nods to DR. STRANGELOVE, ALPHAVILLE and “Doctor Who”. The film stars a who’s -who of great character actors starting with the unforgettable Daniel Emilfork (THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN) as crazed scientist Herbert Von Krantz, who’s invented a device to sterilize all nuclear weapons. A mad herd of rival spies are desperate to get their hands on the device, including Serge Gainsbourg(!) as the sectarian leader of bald, turtleneck-wearing assassins.
