Already tipped as one of America's emerging filmmakers to watch, with comparisons drawn to the work of Judd Apatow, Matthew Bissonnette's PASSENGER SIDE is a sharp, insightful black comedy set on a road trip through the darker side of Los Angeles County.

 

Plot

On the morning of his thirty seventh birthday Michael Brown (Adam Scott) receives a telephone call from this estranged brother Tobey (Joel Bissonnette), which sends the two off on a day-long odyssey across a wild and weird Los Angeles in search of Tobey’s “reason for living.” Behind the wheel of a beat up old BMW, fuelled by hilarious banter and a killer soundtrack (Wilco, Leonard Cohen, Dinosaur Jr.], etc.), the brothers’ search leads them through a bizarre, beautiful land filled with surprising, comical characters to a very unexpected and magical destination.

Featuring intelligent, funny and affecting performances from Adam Scott (Knocked-up, The Aviator) and Joel Bissonnette (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fight Club) and set to an exceptional indie rock soundtrack which includes Leonard Cohen, D.O.A, Evan Dando and Silver Jews, PASSENGER SIDE examines the estranged relationship of two brothers and the unusual, complex bonds that are created when opposites are bound together by unexpected circumstances.

In UK cinemas 1st April 2011.
