Sacrifice | Romain Gavras

Following its world premiere in Toronto, Romain Gavras’ new film will be presented for the first time in Greece at the Onassis Stegi. In "Sacrifice", Joan (Anya Taylor-Joy) and her siblings, driven by a mysterious volcanic prophecy, believe it is their duty to cleanse the Earth. Their radical group hijacks a glamorous charity gala and takes three unlikely hostages for a sacrificial ritual: their hero, movie star Mike Tyler (Chris Evans); their villain, pragmatically cold billionaire Ben Bracken (Vincent Cassel); and their lover, an unlucky performer named Katie (Ambika Mod). As the night descends into chaos, both an inward journey and an outward adventure ensue, where the line between performance and belief, salvation and sacrifice, begins to blur.

Thought-provoking, visually arresting, and powered by a kinetic original script co-written with Will Arbery ("Succession"), Romain Gavras’ English-language debut, "Sacrifice", is a satirical action-adventure and visually explosive epic led by a magnetic star-studded ensemble, also featuring Salma Hayek Pinault, Yung Lean, and Charli XCX. Onassis Culture is proud to be part of the film, continuing its creative collaboration with Romain Gavras that began with "Gener8ion" and "Athena".
