Bad Hair Friday

Original title: Vasaku Jala Reede

A film by Andres Kopper and Arun Tamm

Black Comedy / Crime Thriller
At an ever-accelerating pace, this thriller / dark comedy tells the story of 8 very different groups whose paths cross in the space of 24 hours. We meet a wide range of characters - from spoiled rich brats to real bottom-feeding criminal scum, and everyone in-between. In the best traditions of Commedia dell'arte, the characters each have easily recognizable roles - although there are a few twists to throw the audience off and keep things fresh.The story revolves around a few odd coincidences and a load of bad decisions, which all result in a really messed-up Friday. It starts out innocently enough with jokes, fun and a bit of alcohol, but given the level of intellectual capacity in our leading characters, you can see the train wreck coming. And when some drugged out punks - who have a rather tenuous relationship with reality during best of days - go all Clockwork Orange on an opera loving cankerous old man, it can only end up in tears (and blood, guts and bit of rather literal toilet humour as well).

Andres Kopper and Arun Tamm

Andres Kõpper (1990) and Arun Tamm (1989) were born in Estonia, and for the last 5…6 years, have worked together on many short film projects. They caught the public’s attention with a short movie The Bastards – a school project and homage to Quentin Tarantino. Bad Hair Friday is their first feature length movie - an ensemble film, bringing together 20+ actors in 8 different stories. Andres has studied at Baltic Film and Media School in Tallinn, as well as one year at Istituto Europeo di Design in Barcelona. Besides making movies, Arun is focused on an acting career, thus bringing an additional creative spark to the duo's film making. Despite the directors’ young age, their energy, commitment, film school connections and prior work were enough to attract a talented young crew and some of the most established and popular actors in Estonia to their first full feature project. Following the success of Bad Hair Friday, they are now directing a 12-episode TV series / drama. Andres is also the front in a band called Tenfold Rabbit, which became massively popular after the film. His song Oblivion is part of the film's soundtrack.
