Nicolas Cage’s Sun-Bleached, Rat-Munching Mind-Bender ‘The Surfer’ Makes Waves at Cannes With Six-Minute Standing Ovation


Nicolas Cage's new psychological thriller, 'The Surfer,' premiered at Cannes Film Festival on Friday night.

Nicolas Cage was having fun as his new psychological thriller, “ The Surfer,” scored a six-minute standing ovation at a Cannes Film Festival midnight screening on Friday night. The film, directed by “Vivarium” helmer Lorcan Finnegan, stars Cage as a man who “returns to the idyllic beach of his childhood to surf with his son, but is humiliated by a group of powerful locals and drawn into a conflict that rises with the punishing heat of the summer and pushes him right to his breaking point.” Oscar winner Cage has previously been at Cannes Film Festival for David Lynch’s 1990 romantic crime drama “Wild at Heart,” in which he starred opposite Laura Dern.
