The Surfer at GFT
9 – 15 May, 2025
Nicolas Cage gets gnarly as a man pushed to the edge in Lorcan Finnegan’s trippy psychological thriller that tackles toxic masculinity. Cage’s unnamed divorced dad takes his son (Finn Little) on a trip to his favourite childhood surf spot, where he dreams of buying back his beach house. His perfect plan is shattered when a local surf gang, led by Julian McMahon’s Scally, becomes threatening. As Cage’s character is increasingly humiliated, his temper starts to boil in the heat. With nods to Ozploitation hits like Wake In Fright, Cage offers another deliriously disturbing turn in a film full of suspense and surprises.
