A New Clip From Fabrice Du Welz's VINYAN!

It's already one of my most anticipated titles at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival and this new clip from Fabrice du Welz's upcoming Vinyan only serves to further whet the appetite. The marketing on this has been impeccable so far ... despite the film makers having concerns about the picture clearing the censors in France thanks to it's graphic content the promotional materials so far have generally chosen to simply hint at what lies within rather than spelling it out explicitly. I like.

Unable to accept the the loss of their son in the 2005 Tsunami, Jeanne and Paul Bellmer have remained in Phuket. Desperately clinging to the fact that his body was never recovered, Jeanne has convinced herself that the boy was kidnapped by traffickers in the chaos that followed the catastrophe… that her son is still alive. Paul is sceptical, but cannot bring himself to shatter his wife’s last hope. Bribing the sinister Mr Gao to take them by boat to the pirate-infested jungles of the Thai/Burmese border, the traumatized couple embark on a quest that will plunge them through paranoia and betrayal, ever deeper into an alien universe, a supernatural realm where the dead are never truly dead, and where nightmares, obsession and horrifying reality converge.

Check the new clip and the theatrical trailer below the break.

Well... this is really unconventional. However, I'm not sure yet I want to see this movie.
