Trailer for Koji Wakamatsu's Kyatapirâ

source TwitchFilm
The Berlin Film Festival is only a few days away and amgry I never took the chance cover the festival via this blog (I may try). This is Europe's first major film festival of the year and usually one that many film distributors try tie up deals for there European audiences.
Below is the trailer for Kyatapirâ (Caterpillar) by Japanese director Koji Wakamatsu and the movie is based on a short story called "Imomushi" by author Rampo Edogawa. The story is about a soldier who returns home a mutli-amputee looking at TwitchFilm's post this movie does seem very faithfull to the original story. Director Wakamatsu has in the past been infamous for including his political stance in many of his movies, unfortunately I could n't say if true or what political stance he has, but looking at the trailer possibly very working class maybe even anti-war.

Tony Jaa's ONG BAK 3 teaser trailer

sources We Are Movie Geeks

I'd be honest and say I've never seen a Tony Jaa movie, so what Ong Bak 1 & 2 (which was just out a few months ago!) is about I couldnt tell you. What I do know about Tony he is one the leading actors in Martial Arts movies, he mixes styles creating his own unique brand.
Dont expect much plot or even talking to that matter, but thats not in a nasty way about the movie. The techinical ability of this guy is unbelievable and his fighting skills do all the talking. Watching the trailer below is like watching a music video but once again its not a criticism, its just Tony Jaa. As for what the plot is I dont actually know but if youve seen movie two it is a continuation of how things ended, as ive been told.

Movie three is out in Thailand this April, enjoy the trailer....

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

source QuietEarth
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
