Irish actor Colin Farrell plunges into an intoxicating fever dream among the high-stakes baccarat tables of Macau casinos with Ballad Of A Small Player, a rare major Western film shot on location in Asia's gambling capital.

TORONTO -
The surreal, dark and twisty drama co-stars British actress Tilda Swinton as an investigator in pursuit of Farrell's velvet-suited conman and gambling addict. Chinese-American actress Fala Chen, Hong Kong actress Deanie Ip and British actor Alex Jennings round out the cast.
The movie was filmed over 33 days in various Macau casinos, including scenes shot on live gaming floors while surrounded by real-life high rollers.
Farrell, 49, told AFP he had spent a crazy eight weeks living in hotels "in the middle of the gambling strip... which I can't imagine I would ever do" otherwise.
"It was all-hands-on-deck. It was a bananas shoot," he said at the Netflix film's Toronto film festival premiere on Sept 9.
