Edward Berger continues his streak of artfully ushering books to the screen with Ballad of a Small Player. After his Oscar-winning films All Quiet on the Western Front and Conclave, the German director turns to Lawrence Osborne’s 2014 novel, adapted for film by Rowan Joffé (28 Weeks Later, The American), and starring Colin Farrell.

Farrell leads Ballad of a Small Player as Lord Doyle, a high-stakes gambler lying low in Macau, China. When his past and his debts start to catch up with him, Doyle encounters a kindred spirit who might just hold the key to his salvation.
