Riot Club, The

About the movie

Filthy. Rich. Spoilt. Rotten. The Riot Club is set amongst the privileged elite of Oxford University, and it follows Miles (Max Irons) and Alistair (Sam Claflin), who are two first year students determined to join the infamous Riot Club, where reputations can be made or destroyed over the course of a single evening. On a debauched and decadent night out, the club’s leaders invite them both to see if they’ve got what it takes to belong. Their personal rivalry and jealousy ignite an evening where verbal pyrotechnics and vaulting ambition reign and eventually the wolf pack turn on one of their own. In the same vein as The Social Network, The Riot Club exposes the insecurities and viciousness of the young elite.
The Riot Club is directed by Lone Scherfig, Danish film director, who most recently helmed ‘One Day’, and the Best Picture Academy Award nominee ‘An Education’. It is produced by Pete Czernin and Graham Broadbent of Blueprint Pictures (‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’, ‘Seven Psychopaths’).
