Storyline
Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce.

In a carnival of absurdity and mortality, razor-sharp black humor shatters the polite hypocrisies of the modern world.
From riding thermonuclear warheads in Dr. Strangelove and luxury business-card envy in American Psycho, to medieval existential guilt in In Bruges and found-footage serial killers in Man Bites Dog. Across The Death of Stalin, What We Do in the Shadows, and The Lobster, this collection celebrates cinema’s most audacious, unsettling dark comedies.
