Christos Nikou’s ‘Fingernails,’ Starring Jesse Buckley and Riz Ahmed and Co-Produced by Cate Blanchett, to Close Karlovy Vary
Leo Barraclough International Features Editor “Fingernails,” starring Jesse Buckley, Riz Ahmed and Jeremy Allen White, is to close the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. The tender and idiosyncratic romantic drama, co-produced by Cate Blanchett, is the sophomore outing from director Christos Nikou, who made a splash with his debut “Apples.” The film centers on the Love Institute, a scientific organization that tests the mutual compatibility of people who have decided to embark on life’s journey together.
