Official Trailer for Animal Rights Thriller ‘Liberty’ by Philippe De Witte

"Every animal has the right to be respected." Gravitas Ventures has posted their official trailer for an indie thriller from Belgium titled Liberty, an English-language story about an animal rights activist. Availalbe in the US on VOD this fall. Directed by Phil De Witte, the film features a "breakout performance" by Nicholas Michael McGovern as Matt. An idealistic park guide holds six strangers captive, treating them like caged animals, to deliver his chilling message of freedom to the world. As his human hostages run the gamut from confusion and disbelief to anger and hostility to grief and despair, our anti-hero compares their mental and physical breakdown to those of wild animals struggling in captivity. Liberty is a movie about animal rights, but its central theme is freedom – making it especially timely and relevant to a global audience. Liberty's unique storyline draws a powerful parallel between animal rights, respect for our fellow humans, and the freedoms we too often take for granted. Also starring Alice Barrett, Olan Montgomery, Denny Dale Bess, Samantha Smart, Jonathan Kirkland & Andrea McKinnon. This looks intense ...

‘The Holdovers’ Captures Grown-Up Movie Making at Its Best

We missed Alexander Payne movies. Remember “About Schmidt?” “Sideways?” “The Descendants?” “Nebraska?” Smart. Provocative. Adult. Comical. Wise. He swung and missed so hard his helmet came flying off with 2017’s “Downsizing,” but he’s back in fine form with “The Holdovers.” It’s not his best work, and the story threatens to obsess over class envy in …

New 4K Restoration Trailer for Brazilian Film ‘Black God, White Devil’

"I'm condemned, but I have courage." Janus Films has revealed a new official trailer for the 4K restoration and re-release of this Brazilian "Cinema Novo" classic titled Black God, White Devil, made by Glauber Rocha. This originally opened in 1964, premiering at the Cannes Film Festival before playing in Brazil in the 60s. The film is an account of the adventures of hired gunman Antonio das Mortes (played by Maurício do Valle), set against the real life last days of rural banditism. He witnesses the descent of the rural worker Manuel (starring Geraldo Del Rey) drifting to a life of crime, joining the gang of Antonio's sworn enemy, Corisco the Blond Devil (Othon Bastos), leading to the Pedra Bonita Massacre. "Steeped in history, myth, religion, politics, and suffused with the feverish intensity of the blistering desert, Black God, White Devil is one of the Cinema Novo movement's most uncompromising statements on current social issues as well as the universal problem of mindless fanaticism." New 4K restoration from Metropoles Productions, based on the original 35mm from Cinemateca Brasileira. Restoration by CineColor ...

French First Look Teaser for Quentin Dupieux’s Amazing ‘Daaaaaali!’

Time to meet Dali! Diaphana Distribution in France has revealed a teaser trailer for the acclaimed new film from France's wacky Quentin Dupieux titled Daaaaaali!. Quite simple, this brilliantly hilarious comedy is a wild and kooky take on the artist Salvador Dalí. It premiered a the 2023 Venice Film Festival this fall to uproarious laughter and great reviews - it was one of my favorite films of the festival. Dupieux's film is sort of about a young journalist who attempts to meet with the iconic surrealist artist Salvador Dalí on several occasions for a documentary project. But it never seems to work out. This teaser gives an early look at some of the various actors playing Dali. Starring Anaïs Demoustier, Gilles Lellouche, Edouard Baer, Pio Marmaï, Romain Duris, and Jonathan Cohen. "As Dalí himself said, his personality was probably his greatest masterpiece. My film modestly tells that story," Dupieux explains. I loooove this film, it's so wacky and ridiculously fun. Dupieux outdoing himself with one of the most eccentric characterizations ever. Enjoy. Here's the first French teaser trailer for Quentin Dupieux's ...

Pierce Brosnan Stars in ‘The Last Rifleman’ Trailer About a WWII Vet

"It's a miracle that you made it this far. You are quite the soldier, Mr. Crawford." Sky Cinema has revealed an official trailer for a UK drama titled The Last Rifleman, from filmmaker Terry Loane. This is set for a quick opening next week streaming in the UK via Sky Cinema. Yet another super patriotic "look at what we did back then!" story about a WWII veteran – this film tells the exact same story as The Great Escaper with Michael Caine. I guess it's a story they really need to tell multiple times. A WWII veteran escapes his care home in Northern Ireland and embarks on an arduous but inspirational journey to France to attend the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, finding the courage to face the ghosts of his past. The film stars Pierce Brosnan (in prosthetics) as 92 & 3/4-years-old Artie Crawford, Clemence Poesy, John Amos, Jürgen Prochnow, Claire Rafferty, and Desmond Eastwood. Brosnan looks fine, not sure about the rest of it. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Terry Loane's The Last Rifleman, direct from ...
