quietearth [Celluloid 01.31.09] movie news scifi drama



Yes! We initially reported on this one back in June and I've been eagerly awaiting it ever since! The premise sounds so fascinating that I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. What is it you ask? All tv and telecom inexplicably stops working, and only a few people are left in the city. The film looks like a quiet drama piece, a statement on our current state of affairs. It's playing as part of the upcoming Hungarian Film Week along with Pater Sparrow's 1, and yes, it looks like Hungary is well on it's way to becoming a powerhouse in film.

The story is a tragicomic, absurd film set in a world where all the screens and means of telecommunication have inexplicably stopped working. Accustomed to spending hours in front of their screens, the characters suffer withdrawal symptoms.

When the pictures were gone, life stopped. A few people stayed in the city. Three brothers try to stay alive.

Trailer after the break.

Looks amazingly shot. The trailer was pretty artsy. I wonder what the story's like.
