With SXSW kicking off this weekend, one of our most-anticipated films in the lineup is from Riley Stearns, who last gave us the intense, darkly humorous cult drama Faults. He’ll be premiering The Art of Self-Defense and ahead of the screening, Bleecker Street has debuted the first teaser.
Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Alessandro Nivola, and Imogen Poots, the film follows Eisenberg’s character as a bookkeeper who gets attacked so enters into a karate studio to learn how to fight back. The first teaser doesn’t spoil much of what’s to come, thankfully, and has Stearns’ particular brand of black humor.
Watch below.
</p>After he’s attacked on the street at night by a roving motorcycle gang, timid bookkeeper Casey (Jesse Eisenberg) joins a neighborhood karate studio to learn how to protect himself. Under the watchful eye of a charismatic instructor, Sensei (Alessandro Nivola), and hardcore brown belt Anna (Imogen Poots), Casey gains a newfound sense of confidence for the first time in his life. But when he attends Sensei’s mysterious night classes, he discovers a sinister world of fraternity, brutality and hyper-masculinity, presenting a journey that places him squarely in the sights of his enigmatic new mentor. Audacious and offbeat, The Art of Self-Defense is an original dark comedy that takes toxic masculinity to absurd extremes.
The Art of Self-Defense premieres at SXSW on March 10.
