So the Cannes film festival might be getting ready to end tomorrow but that doesn’t mean the news stops coming! Today we’ve got another news item involving a genre flick being picked up at the annual festival. What flick am I here to tell you about today? Why Jorge Michel Grau’s SOMOS LO QUE HAY (WE ARE WHAT WE ARE) of course!
We first told you about WE ARE WHAT WE ARE back in March, with a more recent update offering us the trailer for the Mexican cannibal flick. So you want details right? Unfortunately we don’t have much. What we do know is that IFC Films are the ones that swooped in and snatched up WE ARE WHAT WE ARE. We’re not even given a potential release date.. Bummer.
One family left destitute when her father and leader, from the time his three sons and his widow facing a storm. The four will have to face him his worst nightmare: getting food into their own hands. Continue with its rituals is vital to eat human flesh to survive. Now, by decree, the eldest brother, a teenage misfit, must lead his people to preserve their cannibalistic tradition, unaware that, in the attempt, will have to sacrifice their own lives.
WE ARE WHAT WE ARE stars Carmen Beato, Paulina Gaitán, Alan Chávez and Francisco Barreiro. Now that IFC Films have their hands on this one hopefully it’s saddled with a release date sooner rather than later. As soon as we hear the good word we’ll be sure to pass it along to all of you!
