quietearth [Celluloid 04.07.09] movie news drama romance



Back in December we brought you the first stills for the fantastic looking (and sounding) Sundance premierer Unmade Beds from director Alexis Dos Santos, and now we've found the first footage. While I wouldn't call it exactly a trailer, maybe a dream state, the footage looks tops and I can't wait to see it. IFC recently picked it up for North American distribution, hurry up folks!

Unmade Beds interweaves the stories of two young foreigners as they seek to rediscover their roots and romance in the vibrant world of London's East End. Twnety-year-old Spaniard, Axl arrives in London on a quest to find the father who abandoned him when he was a child. Taking up residence in a vibrant squat in a hip London neighborhood, he finds himself alongside other colorful characters from all over the world, drawn to London's melting pot.

Among them is Vera, a beautiful Belgian girl recently abandoned by her boyfriend whose faith in romance is gradually rekindled when she meets a charismatic stranger. Agreeing not to swap names or numbers, they embark on a passionate and mysterious affair, but when one fails to show, have they let the opportunity of their lives go forever? Axl and Vera's bittersweet stories of love and friendship are interwoven through the film until their paths finally cross, helping each other to forget the past and discover their future.

Footage after the break.

That's one of the reasons why I like this site. Arthouse films should get some attention anyways.
