HENRY'S CRIME

HENRY'S CRIME

Let's Keanu himself tell us something about the film Henry's Crime,
which he himself developed over four years 
with producers and writer Sacha Gervasi....

“WEARING 2 HEATS”- producing and acting in it..

“I really enjoyed working on the film.”

“IT’S AN ALLEGORY, AND A FABLE. 
YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE IF YOU’RE NOT HAPPY, 
AND WAKE UP IF THINGS AREN’T GOING THE WAY YOU WANT.”

"It's about a guy who is sent to prison for trying to rob a bank, which he didn't actually do. When he gets out, he decides to rob the bank for real now he's done the time. To do that he has to use an underground passageway from the bank to the next door theatre, where they're producing a version of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. Working on a Chekhov play is "a treat, it's a sundae, an ice-cream sundae. You have no idea how much fun it is to perform. it's so interpretive and there's so much freedom in it."

"I HAD A GOOD THING IN HENRY'S CRIME WHERE I COULD HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS," 

"MY FRIENDS SAY IT'S AN EXISTENTIAL ROM-COM CRIME CAPER AND I THINK THAT'S SPOT ON."
