A Second Clip From Fabrice du Welz’s VINYAN

With the North American premiere of the latest from Fabrice du Welz at te Toronto International Film Festival just a week or so away the arrival of a new clip from the film is a good thing, indeed. Early word on this one is very strong and I’ve been hugely impressed by everything to come out from it so far.

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.

Everything that they’ve released so far plays the film as an intelligent, supernaturally tinged thriller but from what I’ve been hearing things get rather bloody and intense once it gets rolling. This second clip is set in a Thai strip club and so is not what I’d call workplace friendly. Find the full trailer and both clips beneath the break.
