Provocative, outrageously profane and surprisingly tender amidst an explosion of unbridled testosterone, 44 Inch Chest explores the masculine ego at breaking point, testing whether fear is stronger than love.
Colin (Ray Winstone) is in agony, shattered by his wife’s infidelity. However, he has friends who do more than stand by – they kidnap the wife’s French lover and hold him prisoner so that Colin can restore his manhood with revenge.
A kangaroo court takes place and as the situation escalates, Loverboy’s life hangs in the balance as Colin wrestles with revenge, remorse, grief and self pity, all the while egged on by his motley crew of friends who just want him to get on with it so they can get down the pub.
44 Inch Chest marks the debut feature of noted photographer and filmmaker Malcolm Venville, and is produced by Richard Brown and Steve Golin, who with Babel, Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) among many others, has specialized in innovative pictures that take challenging risks.
