David Alan Grier in 'American Society of Magical Negroes', Anthony Hopkins in 'One Life', Michael Keaton's 'Knox Goes Away' Test Indie Box Office
The TIFF-premiering film stars Anthony Hopkins as Nicholas “Nicky” Winton, the (real life) young London broker who helps rescue hundreds of predominantly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia in a race against time before Nazi occupation closes the borders on the verge of World War II. Aided by a trusted friend (Al Pacino) with his own shady past, Knox races against the police — and his own rapidly deteriorating mind — to save his estranged son (James Marsden) from a vengeance-fueled mistake and “cash out” before it’s too late. Curated and sequenced by Sakamoto himself, the twenty pieces featured in the film wordlessly narrate his life through his wide-ranging oeuvre from his pop-star period with Yellow Magic Orchestra and his magnificent scores for filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci to his meditative final album, 12.
