Ed Harris described Dito Montiel’s dark comedy “Riff Raff,” which had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last week, as “dangerous” and “kind of liberating.” The director himself has even called it “a Mamet play that no one had ever discovered.”
Harris, who plays former criminal Vince, heads up a cast that includes Jennifer Coolidge, Gabrielle Union, Pete Davidson, Bill Murray and Lewis Pullman.
“It has a similarity to ‘Love Lies Bleeding,’ in terms of the energy and the violence and the humor and the pacing,” Harris said at a Q&A moderated by TheWrap’s Joe McGovern following the premiere as part of TheWrap’s 2024 TIFF Studio sponsored by Moët & Chandon and Boss Design.
