Exciting Upcoming New Films

Here 3 films that will be released in the upcoming weeks that look very interesting and seem be very out of the ordinary. When I get the chance to check them out I will post their respective reviews, for now here is just a little taste of each one of them.

"Compliance"
This film looks very intriguing and one of those films that are not for everyone. A stranger calls a Fast Food Restaurant pretending to be a police officer and this way testing what the owner and employees are willing to do under the banner of "What,s right" . Seems sort of disturbing, and the fact that the film has been very controversial and even walking out of the theater because they couldn't handle it. Yes I must see this.Its only playing in one theater in LA and in a handful across the country, but I'm almost certain its worth the effort. Here the trailer. Did i mention its based on TRUE EVENTS. That is the cherry on top to inspire curiosity

"Chicken With Plums" Form the graphic novelist and director Marjane Satrapi, creator of "Persepolis" both the novel and animated film, comes this new Franco-Persian tale. A much more magical and visually striking film in comparison to "Persepolis", obviously because this time the adaption from the graphic novel was to live action instead of animation. An Iranian musician in love with a woman he cant have searches for love in music, while married to another woman. It looks beautiful and strange, reminds of "Amelie" in its tone and visuals. Really looking forward for this film, although its extremely limited release might make difficult to catch. Here the trailer

"Samsara" The last of the 3 films that I'm more anxious to see this month, might be described more as a visually religious experience. From the makers of "Baraka" comes a new completely visual (not dialogue or narration here) testimony of the human experience and the art of nature and ancient civilizations. It might seem like a National Geographic Doc, but it is much more. Shoot in 70mm (that gives me the chills just to think of it), which provides a quality of imagine unimaginable. All this with a combination of shape, color, form, religiosity, epicness that can only be experienced on the big screen. Definitely catching this one when its out. Here a quick look
