Austin-based Drafthouse Films is unleashing another cinematic assault on good taste with the release of Danish raunch fest Klown.

In a press release, Drafthouse Films gives us the inside skinny on Klown:

Klown is based on the six-season Danish TV show starring comedians Frank Hvam and Casper Christensen.

Mikkel Nøgaard’s Klown has been hailed as “raunchy, fearless and awesome!” (Eric Kohn, indieWIRE).  Based on a popular six-season television show by the same name, Klown is an uproarious comedy that follows two wildly inappropriate friends as they run amok through the Danish countryside plowing through social taboos and unspeakable debaucheries.

“No boundary is too taboo for this incredibly funny and utterly fearless film,” says Drafthouse Films’ Director of Acquisitions Evan Husney, “and for that reason Mikkel Nørgaard’s film is a perfect fit in our roster of incredibly unique and provocative works. Klown is soon to become a household name amongst comedy fans across the country.”

Klown follows two friends, Frank and Casper, as they embark on a canoe trip that thinly veils their true intentions of a weekend of debauchery.  When Frank discovers his girlfriend is pregnant and having doubts about his ability to be a father, Frank “kidnaps” her 12-year-old nephew and brings him along for the ride.  Despite their new impressionable travel companion, Frank and Casper make no changes to their original raunchy itinerary.  What follows is a hilarious series of misadventures.

Producer/director Todd Phillips (The Hangover) is currently working on an American re-make of Klown starring Danny McBride. Fuck yeah!

Got to love Drafthouse Films for helping to keep the grindhouse, arthouse and indie film scene alive.
