“It is always very exciting to be invited to think outside the box and wrestle with stimulating ideas.” Yep. There’s a new film by the great Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos premiering this month! But it’s just a short film, not a new feature (he’s already working on an adaptation of Pop. 1280 next). Following the ten Academy Awards nominations (and one win!) for The Favourite, Lanthimos made this short titled Nimic. It’s premiering at the Locarno Film Festival this month and it will hopefully get a release soon. Matt Dillon plays a professional cellist who has an encounter with a stranger on the subway, which has unexpected and far-reaching ramifications on his life. The cast includes Daphné Patakia, Susan Elle, Sara Lee, Eugena Lee, Rowan Kay, Anvo Kyle, Lizzy Ceniceros, Florencia Mariotti, and Jeffrey Raines. The short runs 12 minutes and was produced by Rekorder Berlin. The film is described as “a small but effective thriller in an aseptic and simple setting with, as usual, an intriguing formal structure.” Get a first taste of it below. ›››
