Death Has A Taste And We Have Its Trailer. An Exclusive Early Look at AMER!

[Due to the plain and simple fact that I absolutely adore this film, this post will remain at the top of the page until midnight Sunday. New content will continue to appear below.]

Directorial duo Bruno Forzani and Helen Cattet just made my list of directors to watch for 2009 and now you get your chance to find out why. Twitch has just been given an exclusive early look at the full theatrical trailer for neo-giallo picture Amer and it is a dandy.

Desire has always been linked to one's look. And cinema too. Luis Buñuel knew that very well when he filmed the short of a razor over an eye with a detail shot. Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani recover this image in an experimental film with immaculate style. Someone watches a girl through a keyhole. The wind lightly lifts a woman's skirt as a group of men look on. The fantasy of a dress tearing. Composed of fragments -of eyes, lights, shadows, gestures-- and without dialogues, Amer delves into the life of Ana, always halfway between the real and the imaginary. A film of sensations, always shot skin-deep.
Check the trailer below!
