So what if someone stole all of your worst memories?
Straddling the fence of AITH appropriateness, I couldn’t help but throw a little love to a weird ass little trailer I just stumbled upon. The flick is called THE MEMORY THIEF, a Holocaust-centric psychological thriller written and directed by Gil Kofman. Check this shite out…
Starring Mark Webber, Rachel Miner, and Jerry Adler – THE MEMORY THIEF tells the story of Lukas – an aimless, haunted young man in contemporary L.A. who buries thoughts of his own past in the humdrum routine of a tollbooth clerk. A chance encounter with a Holocaust survivor suddenly brings into focus a world and an identity he embraces with frightening intensity – the victimized Jews of World War II. As he begins to enthusiastically act out his newfound obsession, Lukas discovers that survivor’s guilt isn’t just for the Jews anymore.
A horror-esque Holocaust film sans zombies? Something tells me this has all the makings of a truly soul-shattering picture.
You can visit the Official Site for the flick to scope all kinds of special screenings and whatnot.
Although shot back in ’07, the flick finally premieres on DVD March 9th!
Trailer time!
