Watch Matthias Schoenaerts and Adele Exarchopoulos in the trailer for Racer and the Jailbird

Racer and the Jailbird is the new film from Oscar-nominated director Michaël R. Roskam (Bullhead, The Drop), set against an electrifying backdrop of high-speed racing and high-stakes heists.

As a member of a notorious Brussels gang renowned for their expertly-executed robberies, Gigi (Matthias Schoenaerts) tends to his front, a luxury automobile import-export business, in his downtime. Sparks fly when he meets glamorous and affluent race car driver Bibi (Adele Exarchopoulos), and despite their wildly different backgrounds, the pair fall instantly and tragically in love. While Gigi attempts to break away from his illicit history, two things stand in the couple’s way to a happy life together: an unrelenting mob hungry for another heist, and the cops that are closing in on them.

The film stars Matthias Schoenaerts (Rust and Bone) and Adele Exarchopoulos (Blue is the Warmest Colour)

Racer and the Jailbird hits cinemas on 4th May 2018.
