No stranger to playing not-so-upstanding knights in shining armor, Jaime Lannister himself, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, has boarded "Virtue," a medieval gothic horror movie that HanWay Films is taking to the European Film Market. Founded in 1999, HanWay is a British sales, distribution, and marketing company that's managed to get a pretty eclectic batch of films made over the years. Their output ranges from celebrated documentaries to Oscar-nominated period dramas to a bevy of auteur projects from the likes of David Cronenberg ("A Dangerous Method"), Takashi Miike ("13 Assassins"), Jim Jarmusch ("Only Lovers Left Alive"), and many more.
If that's not enough to get you sitting up and taking notice, know that "Virtue" further pairs Coster-Waldau with Romola Garai, the star of "Atonement," "Suffragette," and one of the best BBC series you've never seen, Abi Morgan's 1950s-set TV journalism drama "The Hour." In a statement (via The Hollywood Reporter), HanWay Films CEO Gabrielle Stewart notes that,...

Game Of Thrones star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Romola Garai are set to star in Joanna Coates’s gothic horror Virtue, which Hanway Films will launch sales on at the EFM later this month.
Set in England in 1350, Coster Waldau will star as heroic knight St. Peter who returns from war with his teenage son to discover a plague-ravaged homeland riven by social unrest, superstition and fear.
After controversially preventing a woman from being burned to death on the superstition of being a witch, he attempts to re-establish his reputation by embarking on a quest to find a female villager who has vanished into the local forest, believed to be haunted by locals.
But when he and his men track down the woman and her “possessed” daughters, events take an unexpected turn, and it becomes clear they do not want to be rescued.

Hide and Seek
Written by Daniel Metz and Joanna Coates
Directed by Joanna Coates
UK, 2014
The dream of an abundance of love and sex and friendship is probably familiar to all of us, however conflicted it is with the ideology of a soulmate, the special and romantic idea of two starry-eyed lovers locked in a close embrace. While the majority of the Western narratives seems to adhere to the dream of the happily ever after, Hide and Seek offers a different view of love, seeking to mythologize a polyamorous union instead.
Coming from a first-feature British director and winner of the Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature Film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Hide and Seek presents us with four young adults from London, Max, Charlotte, Leah and Jack, who, though complete strangers to each other, decide to experiment with polyamory.

★★★☆☆The debut feature from Joanna Coates, Hide and Seek (2014) is a sensual attempt to examine the psychological mindset of a generation in stasis. Things become complicated when a quartet of Londoners choose to reject society's preordained laws and build a new model for living, with the true meaning of Coates' film hidden beneath a tangled web of flesh and desire. After an ambiguous opening shot of a burning coffin in field, Coates introduces us to Hide and Seek's four good-looking protagonists. They loosely discuss where they're going and what they're planning, but the details are fuzzy and we're never entirely sure what has forced them to undertake such a drastic lifestyle change.

Talking in bed ought to be easiest.
When one first reads the introduction to it in the Edinburgh International Film Festival brochure - two young couples move in together... engaging in scheduled partner swapping - Hide And Seek sounds like another sex film, an excuse to draw in lazy film critics with the promise of flesh and hopefully create a bit of scandal that will attract the public. In fact it’s something very different and a good deal more important. Speaking to director Joanna Coates I put it to her that one of the film’s strengths is that it seems informed – not simply fantasy but a properly researched picture of how multiple-partner relationships can develop.
“I think that there’s two things to do with that,” she responded. “You’re right. The film has more of an allegorical aspect looking at love and sex and the limits that...

Charlotte (Hannah Arterton), Max (Josh O'Connor), Jack (Daniel Metz) and Leah (Rea Mole) have chosen to abandon the modern world of London in order to develop a utopian commune in the secluded English countryside. Sublimely uninterested in what is going on in the world around them, they foster a place in which imagination takes precedence over societal rules. As an expression of their newfound freedom, the foursome establishes a polyamorous lifestyle in an effort to breakdown interpersonal boundaries while also avoiding any romantic connections that might tear the commune apart. As they hide from the world, the commune serves as an existential Petri dish for the characters to seek out their true selves and find happiness. Joanna Coates' Hide and Seek tests the theory that societal norms serve as overbearing burdens for human beings; free of moral guidelines and everyday stress, people might just be able to enjoy life.
