14 DAY TRIAL // If you're into beautiful, weird and disturbing indie movies, “The Loneliest Planet” might be just the thing for you, and not only because it stars the always charming Gael Garcia Bernal.
Check out the first trailer for the film above.
Bernal and Hani Furstenberg play fiancées backpacking in the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia. This is the summer before their wedding so they want to make it one they will never forget.
“Walking for hours, they trade anecdotes, play games to pass the time of moving through space. And then, a momentary misstep, a gesture that takes only two or three seconds, a gesture that’s over almost as soon as it begins,” the synopsis says.
“But once it is done, it can’t be undone. Once it is done, it threatens to undo everything the couple believed about each other and about themselves,” it adds.
If you're feeling frustrated that the synopsis doesn't reveal much, relax: neither does the trailer. But it still manages to be awesome.
Directed by Julia Loktev, “The Loneliest Planet” will be out in October this year.
