Intense Experimental Arthouse movie - ANAPHYLAXIS Trailer

sourceQuietEarth
ANAPHYLAXIS is an experimental/arthouse movie from British director  Ayman Mokhtar and we constantly here about big mainstream movies having certain scenes shot on front of a green screen and muted. The movie was actually filmed 3 years ago in 2007 but its taken 2 years to go through the post production and the world premiere was actually last november in Sao Paulo. A very unique looking film which looks like something Lars Von Trier may have created or as my friend said its like something out of a Bettlejuice movie set?! Trailer after the break

A successful doctor, content with life, develops a strange illness – anaphylaxis, a severe allergy to human skin. He tries to defy his illness, but his life is tuned upside down by his inability to touch people. He can’t function professionally, socially or intimately with his fiancée, whom he eventually loses.
Then he discovers that dead bodies don’t trigger his illness. He withdraws from life around him to work as a pathologist, dealing only with dead bodies. Life is calm until he encounters a woman’s dead body covered from neck to toe with writing. Intrigued, he starts to read.
She was a poet. Imprisoned as a wife and mother, she suffered postnatal depression. Writing was her solace, but she sought escape so much it became a dangerous obsessive compulsive disorder. They locked her in a psychiatric hospital to recover. When released, she was told not to touch a pen again. But she did – to end it all by writing her story on her skin, dying as a result.
Reading her story, the doctor discovers a profound bond between his experiences of solitude and those recounted in her tattooed words. The dead poet becomes the doctor’s only chance for a human connection before the next touch kills him. He reaches to her across the boundaries of death with one last act – of love.

A New trailer & images for John Syales AMIGO have appeared online thanks to Ropes of Silcon(trailer) and TIFF (Images).
The movie is an fictionalised account of the Philippine-American War which took place at the turn of 19th-20th century and even then they where causing atrocities around the world (wonder if George Bush’s ancestors where involved?), the war lead to the slow process of Philippines gaining there Independence.
Apparently this movie has grown out of a book ‘Sometime in the sun’ which never got published which originally started as a screenplay and now we have a film which is set for some sort of release in 2011 but you can see it at next months Toronto Film Festival.
The movie stars Joel Torre, Garret Dillahunt , Chris Cooper, DJ Qualls, Rio Locsin , Ronnie Lazaro, Bembol Roco . Trailer, synopsis and images after the break...
