UK distributor Arrow Films goes back home with three films in its bag: the competition entries Like Father Like Son by Japan’s Hirokazu Kore-eda (photo), A Touch of Sin by China’s Jia Zhangke and the Norwegian thriller Pioneer by Erik Skjoldbærg
The family drama Like Father Like Son acquired from Wild Bunch, is the second title from the Japanese director on Arrow Films’ catalogue, with I Wish. A Touch of Sin (one of the hottest titles in the Cannes competition) was acquired from MK2 International, and Pioneer was acquired from TrustNordisk.
“I’ve had a very good Cannes and thought there was a very good spread of interesting films in competition," said Tom Stewart, Head of Acquisitions.
The distribution company is currently screening in the UK the Danish drama A Hijacking [+see also:
