The Two Faces of January is a thriller set in 1962. The plot centers on a con artist, his wife, and a stranger who flee Athens after one of them is caught up in the death of a private detective.
A glamorous American couple, the charismatic Chester MacFarland (Viggo Mortensen) and his alluring younger wife Colette (Kirsten Dunst), arrive in Athens by boat via the Corinth Canal.
While sightseeing at the Acropolis they encounter Rydal (Oscar Isaac), a young, Greek-speaking American who is working as a tour guide, scamming tourists on the side. Drawn to Colette’s beauty and impressed by Chester’s wealth and sophistication, Rydal gladly accepts their invitation to dinner. But all is not as it seems, as the MacFarlands hide dark secrets.
The Two Faces of January was filmed on location in Greece and Turkey, and at Ealing Studios in west London. See the official site to download production notes, high-res publicity photos, and a complete press kit.
