Earlier today we dropped our list of the 15 Most Anticipated Film Of The 2014 Cannes Film Festival, and while it’s the highest profile titles that get the attention, we’re always hoping for something to break out unexpectedly. Could Asia Argento‘s “Incompresa” be such a film?
Playing the Un Certain Regard section, the film is Argento’s first feature since 2004’s “The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things,” and is inspired by her childhood. As you know, she’s the offspring of giallo master Dario Argento and actress Daria Nicolodi, and this film seems to be a look into a world of fame and celebrity through a child’s eyes, with Charlotte Gainsbourg and Gabriel Garko as the parental figures. And we’re also intrigued by the soundtrack, which has been put together by Justin Pearson, Gabe Serbian and Luke Henshaw. Noise and punk fiends may know those names from bands such as The Locust, Cattle Decapitation and Retox.
Check out the trailer below along with new images and a poster.
I am really looking forward to seeing this movie. Out of all the films showing at Cannes this year this should be a highlight. I cannot help but notice that many of the films showing at the festival seem to have a less than independent feel about them. I do not pretend to know the precise credentials of some of the movies being shown but from Ryan Goslings first movie, Chloe Moretz's cameo in another, Kristen Stewarts new movie to Arnold and Sly suspiciously hanging around there does appear to be a major Hollywood influence. 'Incompresa' appears to one of the (what could be considered) true indies showing this year. Hopefully it will showcase the writer and director, Asia Argento's, film making ability and help to establish her as one of the undeniable talents of our generation.
