Vincent Gallo Joins The Taliban in ESSENTIAL KILLING

source Vulture

Vincent Gallo seems to have a trail of controversay folling him, he does pick the movies which will get the highbrow gossip mongering, follow your heart I say. Well this one will have the middle class rightwing America choking on their frappechinos with Jerzy Skolimowski's ESSENTIAL KILLING.

This one think Rambo First Blood minus the macho testoserone and the mai character been a Talaban member!

The Essence of Killing follows the story of a Taliban member (Gallo) who lives in Afghanistan, kills three American soldiers and then is taken captive by the Americans. He is transferred to Europe for interrogation but manages to escape from his captors and becomes an escaped convict on a continent he does not know.

Popular Danish Arthouse director Susanne Bier  known for been the director of  Brodre (Brothers, recently remade in hollywood with Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal), After The Wedding and Things We Lost in The Fire is returning to our screens with her latest movie HAEVEN.
Also known as In A Better World & Civilization is causing much confusion as in what the synopsis of the film as there's lack of English translation. The IMDB explanation doesn't really concide with the trailer, but I found this at Danish Film Insitute:

"In a Better World" traces elements from a refugee camp in Africa to the grey humdrum of everyday life in a Danish provincial town. The lives of two Danish families cross each other, and an extraordinary but risky friendship comes into bud. But loneliness, frailty and sorrow lie in wait, and soon friendship transforms into a dangerous alliance and a breathtaking pursuit in which life is at stake. 

The movie is due out in Denmark on August 27th with Sony Classics picking up the rights for USA, as for UK/Ireland or a release date, I dont have that now. check out the trailer after the break...
