Collaboration resumes between Coproduction Office and Plattform Produktion for John Skoog's movie 'Redoubt,' featuring Denis Lavant
In the world of cinema, excitement is building as John Skoog's highly-anticipated debut feature film, 'Redoubt', prepares to make its mark. Starring the acclaimed Denis Lavant, known for his captivating performances in films like 'Holy Motors', 'Redoubt' is a Swedish production that promises to deliver a unique and thought-provoking story.
Set in Sweden, 'Redoubt' follows Lavant's character as he transforms his house into a fortress to protect himself and his neighbours from a potential enemy attack, triggered by images in a pamphlet titled "If the War Comes". Lavant, in a remarkable display of dedication to his craft, learned Swedish for his role as a farm worker.
'Redoubt' is directed by John Skoog, a filmmaker with a rich background in visual art. His works have been screened at prestigious venues such as Berlinale, PS1 MOMA New York, and Moderna Museet Stockholm. Skoog's artistic vision is supported by an impressive lineup of co-producers, including Sweden's Film i Skåne, Film i Väst, Sveriges Television, and BCD Film, Denmark's Paloma Productions, the Netherlands' Lemming Film, Poland's Madants, and Finland's BUFO.
The film also marks a collaboration between Coproduction Office and Plattform Produktion, the production company behind Ruben Ostlund's Palme d'Or-winning films 'Triangle Of Sadness' and 'The Square', as well as the upcoming ensemble satire 'The Entertainment System Is Down'. Coproduction Office is responsible for launching international sales for 'Redoubt' at Cannes, where it is currently in post-production.
As the film industry gears up for Cannes 2025, with premieres from established directors and bold experimental films, 'Redoubt' is set to make its presence felt. However, at the time of writing, there has been no specific mention of 'Redoubt' in the publicly available market announcements or festival reports. For the latest updates on 'Redoubt', direct inquiries to festival organisers or sales agents might be necessary.
Plattform Produktion, the company behind 'Redoubt', has expressed high praise for Lavant, considering him a living legend and the dream casting for the film. As 'Redoubt' moves towards its release, audiences worldwide are eagerly awaiting the chance to witness Lavant's captivating performance in this unique and intriguing film.
Movies-and-TV enthusiasts are eagerly looking forward to the upcoming release of "Redoubt", a Swedish production that offers a blend of entertainment and thought-provoking storytelling. With a star-studded production team behind it, including the acclaimed Denis Lavant, this movie promises to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience.
