Back in the spring we got our hands on the first clip from Onur Tukel’s dark comedy Applesauce, and now we have a look at its poster art and release details. It’s arriving during Thanksgiving week, and if you liked Tukel’s previous film, Summer of Blood, this one looks to be up your alley as well.
From the Press Release:
In rising filmmaker Onur Tukel’s latest provocative comedy-drama, APPLESAUCE, a married man is severely tested after a string of twisted, mysterious, and frightening events. Following a world premiere at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, the enthusiastically reviewed film comes to digital EST and VOD from Dark Sky Films on November 24, 2015.
Every Tuesday night, radio talk show host Stevie Bricks invites his listeners to call in and share “the worst thing they’ve ever done.” Tonight Ron Welz (writer/director Tukel) is ready to share his story, but soon after he confesses on the air, someone starts sending him severed body parts. Ron becomes paranoid and terrified. His life begins to unravel. His marriage begins to fall apart. He has no idea who’s tormenting him. Is it his insolent high school student? Is it his best friend? His own wife? In a city like New York, there are eight million suspects, and each one could have a bone to pick with someone like Ron.
Take dark comedy, mix it with noir, and you have one of the most original and unusual movies of the year.
APPLESAUCE co-stars Max Casella (“Doogie Howser, M.D.,” Inside Llewyn Davis, Blue Jasmine), Trieste Kelly Dunn (“Banshee,” United 93), Dylan Baker (Trick ‘r Treat, Secretariat, Happiness), Jennifer Prediger (Apartment Troubles, A Teacher), and Karl Jacob (Pollywogs, The Dictator).
