Spiker & Cobakka are two self-confessed pieces of Moscow scum who come to London to rip it off.

Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian) and Russian heartthrob Andrei Chadov (Russkoye) will be seen in UK cinemas from October 10th in the breezy, barbed satire BIGGA THAN BEN. The film, a smash-hit at this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival, follows the wild exploits of two freewheeling Russians as they embark on a headlong charge through the seedy underworld of the multi-cultural melting pot that is London.

The Scoop

Based on the award-winning diaries of Pavel Tetersky and Sergei Sakin, Bigga Than Ben was a hit in Russia, where it premiered to a sell out audience of 2,000 at the Moscow Film Festival Gala, before taking $500,000 at the Russian Box Office.
 
With music by Pete Doherty and Joe Strummer, and featuring the debut by the latest of the Fiennes dynasty Hero Tiffin-Fiennes (The Half Blood Prince in the next Harry Potter film), BIGGA THAN BEN takes a darkly comic look at what it takes to survive as an outsider in the harsh, unforgiving and pricey yet fascinating UK metropolis.

Editor’s Note

You haven’t heard of Bigga Than Ben, but such is the case with a lot of fantastic movies. We get the garbage movies with big budgets shoved down our throats, whil we miss out wonderful films like this. You’ll kick yourself in the family jewels if you don’t give this a chance at the theater or when it arrives on DVD.
