The spiritual successor to 2009's bizarre Greek family drama Dogtooth will be coming out to select cinemas on September 2nd. The film centres around yet another group of sexually inexperienced young-adults, and the director of Dogtooth even has a starring role this time around. Watch the UK Trailer below.
Marina, 23, is growing up with her architect father in a prototype factory town by the sea. Finding the human species strange and repellent, she keeps her distance. Instead she chooses to observe it through the songs of Suicide, the mammal documentaries of Sir David Attenborough, and the sexual-education lessons she receives from her only friend, Bella. A stranger comes to town and challenges her to a foosball duel, on her own table. Her father meanwhile ritualistically prepares for his exit from the 20th century, which he considers to be "overrated." Caught between the two men and her collaborator, Bella, Marina investigates the wondrous mystery of the human fauna.
Attenberg will be in cinemas and on Curzon On Demand on 2 September 2011

its crazy ive still not seen dogtooth, ironic thing was I was living and working in greece when the movie was doing the rounds in uk festivals, i could have seen this one at this years glasgow film festival!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great little film! It's got a creepy suburban gothic vibe going on. I was surprised it was even nominated for an Oscar; it's so not Hollywood material.
