I've enjoyed Rys Ifans since he exploded on screen in Notting Hill as Hugh Grant's weird-as-fuck flatmate. While he still isn't huge on this side of the pond, he still manages to make quite a little name for himself by turning out great performances. This year he comes to South by Southwest in Mr. Nice.
The film is about Howard Marks, a former teacher, nuclear physicist, travel agent, tour promoter, and one of the largest dope smugglers on the planet. Mr. Nice takes a look at his rise and fall in drug dealing, in which he is said to have never used violence, including his connections with the Mafia, IRA, MI6, and the CIA. It also stars Chloe Sevigny and David Thewlis.
Mr. Nice premieres at The Paramount Theater Sunday, March 14th at 6:30pm.
