La Flamme Rouge (2021) is a crime thriller where one traumatic night turns into a nightmarish fever dream of murder, steroid rings, and assassins.
A violent night sends cycling champ, Rick Van Pelt, into a neon-drenched fever dream. Fueled by scotch and paranoia, he confronts Isaac about an affair with his fiancé. A shocking turn of events unveils their scheme to rip off a reclusive art dealer. Eccentric friends, old and new, fail to save Rick from the nocturnal underworld and his demons personified – a renegade detective his only hope.
This is the debut feature film of writers and directors the Maze Brothers, Brent Scott Maze and Derek Maze, after a few short films.
