Willem Dafoe, a versatile actor, has revealed his upcoming film, The Birthday Party, which stars him as a Greek billionaire planning an elaborate birthday celebration for his daughter.
The film, adapted from a Greek novel by Panos Karnezis, is directed by Miguel Angel Jimenez and produced by Heretic, a Palme d’Or-winning production outfit. The film stars Emma Suarez, Joe Cole, and Vic Carmen Sonne, who recently starred in Magnus von Horn’s The Girl With the Needle.
Dafoe plays Marcos Timoleon, a shipping magnate who throws a lavish birthday celebration for his daughter, Sofia. The celebration serves as an excuse for Timoleon’s associates and hangers-on to approach him with their own agendas. The film explores the ruthlessness of the billionaire and his secret plan for his daughter’s decision. (IANS)
