Trailer Watch: International Edition


The French and their crazy sexual dramas are at it again. Just check out the plotline for Naissance Des Pieuvres (Water Lilies) -
One summer, three fifteen-year-old girls–Marie, Anne and Floriane–share secrets in the girl's locker room. Desire erupts. They will never be able to forget their first time
I have to warn you that that trailer for Water Lilies is one the edgiest trailers that will ever be posted in a Trailer Watch.


That's not the reason I am posting it though; the film is actually supposed to be pretty damn good. It currently has a rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (over 10 reviews) which is pretty impressive.


Water Lilies, written and directed by first timer Celine Sciamma, debuted at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and will hit theaters in a limited release on April 4th.







Mongol is the story of young Genghis Kahn and how the event of his life shaped him to be one of the greatest conquerors of all time. It was nominated for the 2007 Oscar for Foreign Language Film (Kazakhstan). I don't know much about the movie, but I do know that Genghis Kahn makes pirates and half naked Spartans look like bunch of nancies swinging their purses. I will see this movie for no other reason than Genghis Kahn was a bad ass mother-- shut your mouth.


Mongol is directed by Russian auteur Sergei Bodrov and will have a limited release on June 6th.
