    This looks great, lol. I shall watch in lobster's honor. Filmmaking is so fascinating. One of my cousin's is a filmmaker who has an amazing film premiering at a local film festival this weekend. I so wish I could go (we will be on vacation). I love talking to him about it all.

    I'll check it out. I've been a fan of Rachel Weisz ever since I watched the movie Beautiful Creatures.

    Holy Shit! :anguished: I think I feel bad at laughing at the trailer. Anyone seen this yet? I don't want to do spoilers right now...but as soon as one of you guys watch....come back....I'm about to bust. I must talk about it!

    Warning: movie contains F words and sexual relations....so....be careful where your monitor is.

    Yikes! Super dark and .....My mind is spinning!!

  • He picks lobster out of any animal. She says "Good choice"??

    OK at least it's different.

    ^^^ I have seen it. Unique eh?
    It is a very strange film, brilliantly acted. It is beyond comedic. Quite wonderful. Totally engrossing and unexpected.
    It sometimes helps to read reviews after watching to understand what happened.

    Personally I like 'absurdist' cinema. Thanks for watching. I iz honoured? Not part of plan ...

    Engrossing, to say the least. I was stuck to the screen the entire time! Thanks for the link....helped me see that everything I went through is what the film maker intended.

    I promise I'm not judging anyone's cinema preferences, hahaha. My Pony mind was not ready for all that!!!!! WHOA! ( kinda makes it a big Zen Koan, huh?) Knocked me right out of every comfort zone I have... Only here at NB would I stumble upon this. lololololol.

    On second thought.....kinda @lobster perfect. In alot of ways ;)

    You let me know anytime you need a rabbit....I got cha! :+1:

    Very curious trailer... Capturing what love is like in the 21st century? Hmmm.

    I hope @lobster gets a nip out of it. :p

    I do hope it's not a prawn movie, full of shrimps with big mussels and unfeasibly large winkles.

    :scream: I hope not! ..... Then again...social media sure does feed into shallow pairings and emotionless connections....so...who knows, hahaha

    In case anyone wants to know...I watched it online for free at fmovie.com

    I'm not sure if it's on Netflix....or other sources (paying, if your conscience about that sort of thing)...

    Seriously guys....the trailer DOES NOT set you up for what the story does.

    @karasti -- Here you go.

    I found it carefully crafted...
    But I dislike artful creations about which the first and perhaps most heart-felt words out of an onlooker's mouth might be, "I can explain that."
