Viggo Mortensen and Hossein Amini on Filming in the Acropolis

The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 24, 2014

Director Hossein Amini talks about his new film, "The Two Faces of January," along with Viggo Mortensen, who stars in it. The film is based on a Patricia Highsmith novel and it centers on a wealthy American couple on a tour of Greece in the 1960s, where they meet a con-artist who becomes entranced with their wealth and beauty. An accident puts all three in danger and tests the trio’s allegiance. "The Two Faces of January" opens September 26 at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema and will be available on demand.
