THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE | 'Special Belts' Official Clip

--

A dark comedy set in the world of karate. The film centers on Casey (Jesse Eisenberg), who is attacked at random on the street and enlists in a local dojo led by a charismatic and mysterious Sensei (Alessandro Nivola), in an effort to learn how to defend himself. What he uncovers is a sinister world of fraternity, violence and hypermasculinity and a woman (Imogen Poots) fighting for her place in it. Casey undertakes a journey, both frightening and darkly funny, that will place him squarely in the sights of his enigmatic new mentor.

I'm so happy that this is clipped

[Icecypher]

This was so tender. Why do I fear not everyone will be as receptive of their special belts?

[kedabro]

This is every girl who appoints herself the mom of her friend group.

[braveknight]

Omg, homoerotic. I was dying when I saw this.

[debgib]

Not trying to be nitpicky but aren't all belts usually black?

[davidvelazquez]

Lol a black belt is a standard use that people use
That’s the irony of all that

[kiyohshi]

I’m convinced he’s not even an actor that directors give a script to.


I think they just ask for his character to attend.

Lol this show might be funny enough to watch and I don't saw that about any show
