Anthony Hopkins, Jude Law and Rachel Weisz lead the cast of this provocative romantic merry-go-round.
In Vienna, newly recruited young Bratislavan escort Mirka (Lucia Siposova) meets her first client, British businessman Michael Daly (Jude Law). Back in London, Daly's wife Rose (Rachel Weisz) is having a passionate affair with a Brazilian photographer. The photographer's girlfriend, Laura (Maria Flor), leaves him and meets an older man (Anthony Hopkins) in a US airport. As the baton is passed from one character to the next, we meet a succession of other characters. These include a convicted sex offender (Ben Foster) on his way to a halfway house and a married Muslim dentist (Jamel Debbouze) who's in love with his assistant. Written by Peter Morgan, who gave us 'The Queen' and 'Frost/Nixon', '360' is a mesmerising, kaleidoscopic drama exploring the connections that bind us. It's directed by Fernando Mereilles, whose credits include 'The Constant Gardener' and the Oscar-nominated 'City of God'.
