Romain Gavras is the son of acclaimed Greek/French filmmaker Costa-Gavras. Below is the mysterious trailer for his first feature film "Notre Jour Viendra (Our Day Will Come)", starring Vincent Cassel & Olivier Barthelemy.
Gavras' past directing efforts (DJ Mehdi - Sigantune, Justice - Stress & the controversial M.I.A. - Born Free) have channeled towards (violent and distressing) music videos, but these are traditionally long enough to make short films, with a strong narrative and almost seeming as if the music is used as a soundtrack to the moving picture. Considering this, the announcement of the feature film came as no surprise.
Originally titled "Redheads" (oh my! reference to the "Born Free" music video?) the movie deals with the following problematic:
What do you do when you're a red-haired teenage loser with no friends except for an older guy, your shrink? When everyone hates you, especially your family? When all your peers make fun of you and kick you around? The answer: you and your loser buddy blow all the cash you can get your hands on to buy a sportscar, you dress smart and you head for the land of redheads, Ireland. But what starts off as a search for an ideal, gradually escalates into a rampage of hate, violence and self-destruction.
I am looking forward to this movie but I have to say that the trailer itself is beautiful and has definetely caught my eye (and ear).
