Monument Acquires Eugene Kotlyarenko’s ‘The Code,’ Sets Theatrical Release in English-Speaking World (EXCLUSIVE)

Monument Releasing purchases the rights for Eugene Kotlyarenko’s movie titled “The Code.” They plan to showcase it in theatres across English-speaking regions. The film initially premiered at the International Film Festival in Montreal, and has since garnered a robust presence on the festival circuit.

Beginning on April 23, “The Code” will debut at the Roxy Cinema in New York. Subsequently, it will appear at the Lumiere Cinema in Los Angeles on May 9. Other significant cities where it will screen include Miami, Montreal, Toronto, and San Francisco. More locations are expected to be announced.

In ‘The Code,’ we find a unique, humorous take on a loveless duo, constantly worried about the health of their relationship. To rekindle their romance, they resort to monitoring each other closely, spying, and putting on acts.

The movie features Dasha Nekrasova (from “Succession” and “The Beast”), Peter Vack (“The Sweet East” and “PVT Chat”), Ivy Wolk (“Anora”), and Vish Velandy (“Wobble Palace”).

In this movie we have Dasha Nekrasova (from Succession and The Beast), Peter Vack (from The Sweet East and PVT Chat), Ivy Wolk (from Anora) and Vish Velandy (from Wobble Palace).

Or, if you want to make it more casual:

This film stars Dasha Nekrasova (Succession, The Beast), Peter Vack (The Sweet East, PVT Chat), Ivy Wolk (Anora), and Vish Velandy (Wobble Palace).

It was produced by Spacemaker Productions and lensed by Bart Cortright.

In a fresh and innovative approach in 2010, Kotlyarenko’s initial films, “0s & 1s” and “Skydiver,” stood out by using the visual style of a computer screen to narrate a cinematic tale. His self-referential romantic comedies, “A Wonderful Cloud,” featuring Katelyn Sheil, and “Wobble Palace,” with Dasha Nekrasova, were showcased at SXSW (2015 and 2018 respectively). These films garnered praise for their resemblance to the works of Woody Allen and Albert Brooks.

2020 saw him debut the film “Spree” at the Sundance Film Festival. This live-streamed production told the story of a rideshare driver who aimed to gain viral fame through mass murders. Later in that same year, he independently distributed “We Are,” a thought-provoking critique of the tech industry.

In the year 2023, following retrospectives held in cities such as New York, London, Toronto, and Sydney, the art-focused streaming platform Mubi featured a collection of Eugene’s works titled “Love Me, Click Me!”

(By rephrasing the original sentence to make it more accessible and engaging, I aimed to maintain the same meaning while making the language flow smoothly.)
