Lost Killers, premiered in the ‘Un Certain Regard’ section at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. This deeply funny black comedy includes an unmissable performance by the director Dito Tsintsadze (pictured above) in drag.
Set in the red light district of Mannheim, Branko and Merab, two hapless hitmen, are assigned to kill a businessman for unknown reasons. Although the unsuspecting businessman offers them plenty of opportunities to kill him, the two men are prevented from carrying out their mission by the most absurd coincidences, even after taking on a new helper by the name of Carlos.
