Okay, that last one's not actually at Cannes, but it is the latest from Alex De La Iglesia and I found the trailer for the first time on the same site as the rest ...
Clever, marketing savvy type man that I am I figured that, what with the Cannes film festival in full swing, those wacky Frenchmen might be taking advantage of the media circus by launching ad campaigns for films playing the festival, campaigns complete with trailers. And I was correct. Yes, sir.
We've linked to the trailer for Gus Van Sant's pseudo-Cobain, quasi-bio pic a couple times before, but the other places we've found it were limited to crappy Flash encoded streams. No more. Click here for the Last Days trailer in a pleasing variety of viewing formats.
While I will confess to not having heard of any of the principal people involved in Lemming before now it did just open the largest film festival in the world, which has got to count for something. That one's here.
While I haven't said much of anything about Nordeste around here before now that's purely because I haven't been able to find out much of anything about it, which has been driving me nuts. Nordeste is the feature debut of Juan Solanas whose previous short film - L'Homme Sans Tete - is an absolutely stunning piece of work that marks Solanas as the logical successor to Jean Pierre Jeunet and Terry Gilliam. Nordeste looks and feels absolutely nothing like L'Homme Sans Tete. Go figure. Still looks dead solid, though. Click here for South American adoption drama.
And having nothing whatsoever to do with Cannes, but a film that is apparently an awful lot of fun and which I have now managed to miss at two different film festivals despite having it on my 'to-see' list: Alex De La Iglesias' Ferpect Crime. A trailer, three teasers and a making-of there.
In my post about FERPECT CRIME from the Philadelphia Film Festival, I noted the film had been released on DVD in Spain but didn't feature english subs - I was wrong!!! DVDGO, where I do all my shopping for Spanish releases, simply omitted this fact from their page. The disc does feature english subs and is in my grubby little mits right now!
Missed this one at last years TIFF, it was well liked by a friend though...
