Dial M FOR MARKUS or is it Dial L for next Lars Von Trier?



Are you pissed off the recent outburst from Lars Von Trier? Adore Gaspar Noe's Enter The Void? Or even worship all things David Cronenberg? Do strive to see the next big experimental/arthouse filmmaker rise from the ashes? The National Film School of Denmark is one of those schools you may find that New Von Trier, Noe or Cronenberg, a school not scared to confront controversy, be experimental or try to be something new  and refreshing to an industry overcrowded with remakes & comic book movies.

With the schools final projects now in full swing we get a chance to see what the school has to offer and there latest creation is M FOR MARKUS, is the graduation film from Ali Abbasi  and it seems the above mentioned filmmakers seem to be the inspiration behind this. He does however have a Danish oscar winner producing this flick, Paw Charlie Ravn whose award winning animation To Venner is doing the rounds of the world's animation/film festivals.

Check out the teaser and trailer for M FOR MARKUS and is it me there seem's a big Gaspar Noe inspiration here.?

A female police detective, TESS, discovers a mutilated body in a crime scene. Her search for the killer leads her to the young and innocent-looking MARKUS. Immediately attracted to Markus, her attraction to him leads her deep into a dreamy and grotesque world where her relationship to Markus is changed upside down - and inside out.
