Final Trailer For ‘Amer’ Arrives From SXSW.
Most of you know by now that this little gem has been getting a lot of love from me in the past couple months. Being one of my most anticipated films this year, and receiving praise throughout the world from critics and audiences alike, Amer has finally come to the states, premiering at SXSW next month. In celebration of its arrival to North America, a final, and absolutely stunning trailer has been posted for the film. Amer will be released in France on March 3rd, and hopefully we’ll get to see it here in the U.S shortly after its SXSW screening. Check out the trailer below, as well as links to plenty of other goodies.
Desire has always been linked to one’s look. And cinema too. Luis Buñuel knew that very well when he filmed the shot of a razor over an eye with a detail shot. Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani recover this image in an experimental film with immaculate style. Someone watches a girl through a keyhole. The wind lightly lifts a woman’s skirt as a group of men look on. The fantasy of a dress tearing. Composed of fragments -of eyes, lights, shadows, gestures— and without dialogues, Amer delves into the life of Ana, always halfway between the real and the imaginary. A film of sensations, always shot skin-deep.
