We've become rather outspoken fans of Swedish director Patrik Eklund - the man behind the award winning short Situation Frank of a year or so ago and the currently-on-the-circuit Instead Of Abrakadabra - and so we are very pleased to have the first, rough trailer for his next work, There's Been An Accident.
Eklund is one of those rare people with a gift for simple, observational humor. He's a director who can drop an odd person into a completely bland and normal situation and work the scenario for slyly understated humor while still keeping his characters remarkably grounded and real or - as he's proving with this one - he can do the same thing while taking a bunch of very normal people and making the situation extreme.
As I understand it this is essentially raw footage so the final quality will be higher but it's more than enough to give a taste of what he's up to. And, yes, it does feature English subtitles. Check it below the break!
Looking good. Hehehehe wheelchair.
