Offical Trailer for Greek period movie Mavro livadi (Black Field)

Below is the offical trailer for Greek Movie Mavro livadi (Black Field). This is a very bleak period drama, not from the typical period era we usually see from Greek inspired movies but from a later period of the Ottoman Empire  period when the Turks ruled Greece (1654 period time).
The movie sees a wounded Turkish warrior arriving at all female monastery, heavily wounded who take him in. He gets nursed by a young nun who falls in love with the turkish soldier. The young nun was on a oath of silence and she has a secret she doesnt care sharing with the soldier that she is actually a he, a boy.
Right away this is an "Crying Game" type movie and you would true in saying that.. Visually this movie is very haunting but also visually beautiful. When the Crying game came out in the 1980's seeing a transgender romance would have been very contriversial but now, sexuality not really a big taboo now. Howver it would be curious to see the reaction in other countries to this movie, countries that may not be as opened.

Movie opens February 12th in Greece

Takeshi Kitano's OUTRAGE first teaser trailer

When it came to American-Italian gangster movies you always look up Al Pacino, Robert De Niro or even Joe Pesci to pull off some authenticity. In Japan there's only one actor right away who is good enough to either take on or be one himself thats Beat or to me and you Takeshi Kitano .
Old Beat's been in a bit of a hiatus recently and now he's finally back with his new movie AUTOREIJI (Outrage). Its business as usual for Beat as he takes on hisYakuza  role as an subordinate role as Otomo  running his crew with jobs that no other crew wants and with the police on his back you cant trust old Beat to get his house in order and maybe sort a few others as well.
The teaser trailer below doesnt  show alot of action but it does suggest they'll be alot in this movie which is due to be out in Japan around June time.

Here's a beautiful little trailer for the indie drama AN ARTIFICAL LIGHT created by Tim Courtney. I dont know much about it apart from the post Quietearth has done on it. From what I can gather its a relationship drama about a man who has recently split up from his girlfriend and he is trying to deal with the situation by taking a tripback down  memory lane.
I do love the grey monetone look and backed with the good music it gives the movie a sweet but tranquil feel to it, if you think about it thats what the main character is trying to get some peace of mind so he can move on. As for any release information I have nothing but I believe the movie is doing the rounds at the Sundance festival in USA.
