The Code

THU · NOVEMBER 21 · 2024 · 10:00 PM · THALIAN BLACK

A sexless couple (The Scary of Sixty-First’s Dasha Nekrasova and Assholes’s Peter Vack), paranoid about the status of their relationship, embraces surveillance, spying and performance as a means to reconnect in this absurd, high-concept comedy. From his screens-within-screens feature debut 0S & 1S to his rideshare killer romp Spree, amazeballs filmmaker Eugene Kotlyarenko has gone viral exploring people up close and extremely online through oddball humor, raucous provocation, and never less than humane curiosity. Kicking off our after-hours “Convulsions” program, The Code is too dark, disillusioned & uncensored to be classified as a rom-com, or maybe that’s why love is a mystery?
