MAMA GOGO TRAILER

Here is the trailer for Friðrik Þór Friðriksson's new movie Mama Gogo. 

Mamma Gógó is about Gógó, an elderly lady, who is diagnosed with Alzheimer disease and her son's and family's reaction to her illness. While Gógó is continuously getting herself into trouble, of the kind only a person with Alzheimer can, the son, the director is struggling with financial troubles after his film Children of Nature has flopped in the cinema. As Gógó's disease progresses her family decides that it is best for her to move to a nursing home. Gógó and her deceased husband, who appears on the scene, are not happy with that decision. The director is dependent on others when it comes to his finances and when Gógó settles into the nursing home he decides to sell his mother's apartment and valuable artwork but the profits of the sale help him to get by. -IMDB 

  Friðriksson seems to headed back to the roots that won him a oscar nomination a while back and I would say the movie itself is based on his own life and how he got that oscar nom. Its amazing what foreigners and a little gold man can do to get you recognition in your own country. If the nod never arrived Icelandics wouldn't have taken notice of his work

Animated Short: Walter Beckett is PIGEON IMPOSSIBLE

You mask yourself is this Tom Cruise's new Mission Impossible movie gone animation? No, this is the animated short of Pigeon Impossible directed by Lucas Martell .
The full short created in CG and now released in its full length in Hi-Def thanks to Youtube. The short like everything these days done the festival circuit and went down very well where ever it was played and I think sometimes instead of the adverts (still include the trailers), little shorts like this be it animated or not would be ideal to be shown in previews before the main movie comes on. This would be great as it would give these talented directors a chance to show their pride and joy to a wider audience though reality cinema's wont budge as they would loose alot of business by leaving out the adverts.
Enjoy the short and why not click on the link to the movies offical website and look at loads of pictures and a behind the scenes diary of the movie as well.

Charlotte Gainsbourg is a sucker for crazy releationships - Persécution trailer

Charlotte Gainsbourg fair picks the movies that have that crazy mucked up relationships as recently seen in Lars Von Trier's Antichrist and now she is in the thick of it in Persecution.
This movie is the latest offering from French director Patrice Chéreau who is known for his 1990's movie La reine Margot (Queen Margot) which which shown him in the limelight despite the inaccuracies in the history/facts of the movie.  

Charlotte Gainsbourg plays a woman called Sonia in a love/hate relationship with Daniel played by Romain Duris and out of the blue a mysterious man (Jean-Hugues Anglade)
turns up at Daniels home. Suddenly Sonia splits with Daniel and fingers pointat Sonia as if the man's arrival was a ploy of hers but long after she's gone the man still harrasses Daniel. Questions are now asked who this man is and why he's really here?
Watch the trailer below and you'll see it's not going to be about a failed relationship but more a dangerous and mysterious game.The movie was shown last month at the London Film Festival but I dont have info of an release in the indie/arthouse cinemas in Uk or Ireland, though December 9th it will get a cinematical release in France.

The solitary Daniel and Sonia share an uneasy love/hate relationship. Daniel's life is disrupted by the appearance of a stranger that proceeds to insinuate himself in his life. The man's persistence takes its toll on Daniel and Sonia, leaving Daniel alone with nagging questions of "Why?"- IMDB
