Slovak premiere

The latest collaboration between Bob Odenkirk (Nobody or TV series Better Call Saul) , JOHN WICK creator Derek Kolstad and NOBODY producer Marc Provissiero, director Ben Wheatley’s (High-Rise – at IFF Art Film 2016, Free Fire – at IFF Art Film 2017) kinetic neo-Western stars Odenkirk as an unassuming substitute sheriff with a troubled past who, after moving to a small, sleepy town, responds to a bank robbery and unknowingly uncovers something far more explosive.

For Sheriff Ulysses (Odenkirk), his provisional posting to the quaint Midwestern American town of Normal was meant to be a welcome respite from both his marital woes and recent moral injuries in the line of duty. But when a botched bank robbery interrupts the municipality’s tranquil pace, a dark secret is inadvertently exposed, and Ulysses soon discovers that the town is anything but its name.

The black comedy Normal premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was screened in the Midnight Madness section.
