Vincent Gallo (TETRO, BUFFALO '66) stars as a Middle-Eastern
insurgent captured by US forces and transported to a secret detention
centre somewhere in Europe. When the vehicle he is riding in crashes, he
escapes into a snowy wilderness, a world away from the desert home he
previously knew. Forced into extreme survival mode and pursued by an
army that does not officially exist, he must confront the necessity to
kill in order to survive. Essential Killing is a provocative examination
of the modes of modern warfare and the limits of human endurance, this
rivetting thriller from veteran filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski (DEEP END,
THE SHOUT) is anchored by an extraordinary performance from Vincent
Gallo. Winner of Best Actor (Gallo) and Best Film at the 2010 Mar del
Plata Film Festival, and the Volpi Cup Best Actor prize and the Grand
Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival the same year, it was
described by Eye for Film as a highly politicised work, unapologetically
adopting the perspective of an Islamic insurgent forced to fight for
survival on a quest of almost Biblical proportions.
