Asthma stars Benedict Samuel as hero of the piece Gus, who steals a white Rolls Royce, then meets up with Ruby (Krysten Ritter), a stunning tattoo artist he’s always had a thing for, who joins him.
The misfits escape the city and into nature, sharing a joint, wondering why things used to be so much cooler in the ’70s. The billing states that “Asthma is a modern romance that explores addiction in a fresh and honest way”, and how “She warns him not to fall in love with her, but the higher you are the harder you fall”, which rather undersells it as it looks like a great movie.
The film also stars Nick Nolte, Rosanna Arquette, Goran Visnjic, Iggy Pop and Jerry Zucker.
Asthma is released in the US on October 23rd, but doesn’t yet have a UK date.
