Utopia has acquired U.S. rights to the acclaimed film “Pavements” from director Alex Ross Perry (“Her Smell,” “Listen Up Philip”), a day after its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

The film received critical acclaim, with Variety saying that "'Pavements' shines as a plate-spinning act", and Screen describing it as "a joyous, slyly subversive celebration".
