Tomorrow the fun starts, as the 64th Cannes International Film Festival kicks off and Kamen Kalev's THE ISLAND will premiere during the festival. There's something with couples and islands these days with Retreat starring Cillian Murphy & Thandie Newton who go to a island to save there marriage only to be disturbed by a half dead soldier telling them the world is dying because of virus and to this a movie which looks like the couple see irrational things happen to them. The trailer doesn't really make things that clear but there does look like alot of things go bump in the night, with a supernatural spin to it, the local residents are a bit odd as well you wonder if they'll be a Wicker man esque twist?
There's a added bonus in this movie you get to see a film master at work in front of the camera instead of behind it, the man in question is Alejandro Jodorowsky , check out the trailer below...
Sophie and Daneel, both in their early thirties, are a close and passionate couple living in Paris. Sophie initiates a surprise journey to Bulgaria. Daneel explicitly refuses to go, but Sophie insists and finally convinces him to leave. When they arrive, Sophie discovers that Daneel was born there...
After a few hours spent on the crowded beaches, Daneel leads Sophie to an almost abandoned island lost in the Black Sea. Once there, Daneel discovers pregnancy tests in Sophie's luggage. The heat and the strange few inhabitants soon alter their own behaviors, and the island slowly reveals hidden fears that question their love. To get through it all, they have to take a leap into the unknown...
