That Ina Weisse's Der Architekt comes from the same German outfit behind much of Wim Wenders' work should tell you one thing: this is intelligent, sharply crafted stuff. And, yep, it's got one intelligent, sharply crafted trailer. German film tends not to travel very much for some reason but this one looks very likely to be doing the fest circuit in the coming year. Here's the synopsis:
The successful Hamburg architect Georg Winter (Josef Bierbichler), his wife (Hilde Van Mieghem) and two grown-up children (Sandra Hüller and Matthias Schweighöfer) travel to attend Georg’s mother’s funeral in a snowy mountain village where he grew up as a child.At the funeral the mysterious Hannah (Sophie Rois) and her son Alex (Lucas Zolgar) suddenly appear. She unearths a truth which drags the family into a vortex of desires and confusion. When a snow avalanche cuts the village off from the outside world, there’s no escape...
Be aware: there be nekkid people in the trailer. You'll find it below the break.
Is this a sequel to the Matrix? Just kidding.
I am sorry, I don't see any special value in the trailer that makes me want to see this movie. With so many movies on my watch list (some of them are coming from this very website) I'm just going to skip this one.
