Kaufman's Game follows Stanley an unemployed young man with a passion for boxing who is keen to improve his strength and stamina. When a stranger approaches him outside the gym with the offer of a specially produced steroid Stanley is drawn into the ever more violent operations of a powerful organisation unwittingly entering into a series of tests designed to prove his mettle. This is a film about power determination and being your own worst enemy. It celebrates the archetypes of classic Film Noir and the dark conspiratorial storytelling technique of Franz Kafka but with a contemporary minimalist aesthetic.
