This trailer for Spike Jonze’s latest short film caught my attention because I’ve been enjoying fiction over the past few years that has anything to do robots. (I think my interest might have started when I first saw “Robocop” as a kid.) Its concept reminds me a bit of something that would come out of Michel Gondry’s ”Be Kind Rewind” movie…the idea that you can turn something made of ghetto parts into something fabulous. The trailer is thoughtful and just the right amount of unusual. Totally right up Spike Jonze’s alley.
Already released in the UK as of September ‘09, this is on my radar to watch. Why? Because director, Andrea Arnold, somehow makes the film’s reality more real than real life. Because I forget that mise-en-scene counts for something, even if the setting is the slums. And because…is that really Michael Fassbender?
I loved both the regular and redband trailers for “Kick Ass” but a good friend shared this clip that made me look forward to the movie even more. As if I needed further persuasion…
If you haven’t seen the redband trailer, by the way…do yourself a favor. What do you think? Am I the only one who thinks this movie will live up to its previews?
