44 INCH CHEST is provocative, outrageously profane and surprisingly tender amidst an explosion of unbridled testosterone and a visceral exploration of the masculine ego at breaking point; ultimately testing whether fear is stronger than love.

Combining the coruscating menace and wit of Sexy Beast with the bold storytelling of Trainspotting and the razor-sharp conflicts of Reservoir Dogs, 44 Inch Chest makes the debut feature of noted photographer and film-maker Malcolm Venville, and is produced by Richard Brown, and Steve Golin; who through films such as Babel, Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, among many others, has specialized in innovative pictures.
