I can't wait until this movie comes out on general release in Australia as I missed out on tickets to the screening at the Melbourne International Film Festival. The trailer looks stunning even though I have no idea what it is about except that it is a fantasy film that follows a young girl in New Orleans.
I guess it's a good thing that the trailer doesn't give away the plot though as these things always kind of plant preconceived ideas about how the movie should be and you end up spending the whole movie waiting for a particular scene or being annoyed that the movie is nothing like the trailer.
It is directed by Benh Zeitlin with cinematography by Ben Richardson. Not familiar with his work but will definitely keep an eye out for him as some of the shots from this movie are so beautiful in terms of composition.
And while we're on animal movies here's the just-released trailer for Ang Lee's screen adaptation of Life of Pi. Looks exciting and the visuals remind me of the dreamscape sequences from The Lovely Bones.
I should add that I am in no way affiliated with Fox Searchlight, I just happen to enjoy all the films they release.
