A trailer for Container, the latest from Scandanavian auteur Lukas Moodyson, has turned up online and it is surprisingly in line with what I expected from the very odd synopsis. Which is to say that those who have criticized the man for pretentiousness of late obviously have a huge new heaping of ammunition here while those who enjoy his experiments will be delighted.

Here's the synopsis from sales agent Trust Film:

"Poetic, experimental and different, CONTAINER is described by Lukas Moodysson as "a black and white silent movie with sound" and with the following words; "A woman in a man's body. A man in a woman's body. Jesus in Mary's stomach. The water breaks. It floods into me. I can't close the lid. My heart is full". "

Oh boy. If folks though Moodysson's last two movies were pretentious, they ain't seen nothing yet. "Container" is by far the most pretentious film I've seen in years.
