Noel Clarke's Adulthood, which was screened at this year's Karlovy Vary Film Festival, opens this week on IFC Festival Direct, a distribution outlet presenting "a collection of the best and most innovative cinema" from film festivals around the world, exclusively on demand.
Adulthood is a follow-up to Kidulthood (2005), which Menhaj Huda directed from Clarke's screenplay about a group of teenagers doing some quick growing up in west London's seamy streets: Following the release of Sam (played by Clarke himself), who'd been in prison for killing Trife (Aml Ameen in Kidulthood), several of the original film's characters must confront the consequences of that violent night in their past.
Also in the Adulthood cast: Ben Drew, Danny Dyer, Scarlett Alice Johnson, Jacob Anderson, and Adam Deacon.
