Below is the trailer for Bradley Rust Gray's THE EXPLODING GIRL, a coming of age tale of  Ivy a young girl who suffers from Epilepsy but is struggling to have feelings for her boyfriend. To make matters worse her friend Al decides to crash and stay with her.

The trailer is wonderfully shot and protrays the worries of life as an young adult and during last summers festivals it did get positive reviews from all who seen it. I dont know if they'll be an UK/Irish release via the independent cinemas but there will be a limited release in USA from March 12th.


Is this Poland's version of Eternal Sunshine?? WJONA POLSKO-RUSKA trailers

The source of this trailer describes this movie WJONA POLSKO-RUSKA (Snow White and The Russian Red) as Poland's version of Eternal Sunshine of The Mind, Im unsure. First impressions from the poster I think more like an Trainspotting esque movie but as they say never judge a book by its cover, so you have to say the basis of the story is where the Eternal Sunshine links come from.

This movie tells the story of Silny a hardline nationalist who is anti semtic, racist and a homophobe whose girlfriend leaves him but he soon meets up with satanist Angela. the duo hang around drug dependant nobodies in a environment which can only be described as nihilistic.

The movies story comes from 18 year old writer
Dorota Maslowska who has caused a big stir with his novel simply due to the content and the movies leading character's stance of life. Anyway watch the trailers and you can decide for yourselfs.

DER RAUBER (The Robber) is the second full length feature from new German director Benjamin Heisenberg and stars Andreas Lust as Johannes Rattenberger in a true story of an Athelete who became obbessed with robbing banks as a "hobby".

Even during robberies he still thinks like an athelete by measuring his heart rate, stamina and efficiency. Even hidding his passion from his girlfriend  he needs to get his regular fix of heists but he has no goal and like an athlete he must always be alert and on the go.

Like our source QuietEarth I dont know much about the story of Rettenberger apart from the movie is based on a Martin Prinz novel about the athlete who was knicked named "Pump Gun Ronnie". The movie is part of the Berlin International festival  which is currently happening in the city at the moment.

The movie is actually an Austrian movie and according to Imdb the movie is due to be released in Austria sometime this month so it may already be out, anyway check out the trailer below:
