We have been greatly anticipating the arrival of Vinyan, the latest film from the director of Calvaire. Known as The Ordeal on these shores that earlier film from Fabrice Du Welz hugely polarized audiences while clearly marking him as a talent to watch and his latest looks to build on that early promise. Rufus Sewell - a hugely under used actor - stars with Emanuelle Beart as a couple as a western couple in Phuket hoping to find their kidnapped child. Here’s the official synopsis:

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.

We ran a block of grisly stills from the film earlier and the producers have just passed along a pair of additional images featuring the two leads. Very nice.
