Here’s a strange item: The teaser trailer for AMER, from French filmmakers Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani. It had its premiere at the Sitges Film Festival last week; here’s the description of the film from the Sitges website: Desire has always been linked to one’s look. And cinema too. Luis Buñuel knew that very well when he filmed the short 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.
Our own Arrow will have a review for this odd feature soon, so keep your eyes peeled. For now, enjoy the toothy teaser!
