The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman premiered on January 21st, 2013 at the
Sundance Film Festival and as we said – it is scheduled to be screened
in competition at this year's
Berlinale which starts tomorrow.
Charlie Countryman was just a normal guy… until he fell in love with the one girl who will probably get him killed. When Charlie meets the absolutely irresistible Gabi she's already been claimed by Nigel, an insanely violent crime boss with a gang of thugs at his disposal. Armed with little more than his wit and naïve charm, Charlie endures one bruising beat down after another to woo Gabi and keep her out of harm's way. Finally his exploits of blind valor create such a mess that he's left with only one way out; to save the girl of his dreams, must Charlie Countryman die?
Let us know what you think about the movie, and stay tuned for more!
