The next title to receive BFI FAN New Release Support is THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON from Signature Entertainment.
A modern Mark Twain-esque adventure starring Shia LaBeouf (American Honey, Fury) as a small-time outlaw turned unlikely coach who joins forces with Zak (Zack Gottsagen), a young man with Down’s Syndrome on the run from the nursing home with a dream of becoming a professional wrestler. Dakota Johnson (Suspiria, Fifty Shades of Grey) stars as Zak’s loving, but stubborn, carer.
THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON, as well as being an extremely beautiful and feel-good movie, holds the distinction of being unique in that the lead actor is newcomer Zack Gottsagen, a young actor with Down’s Syndrome who is the heart and the soul of the movie.
