Amer will Blindside those Expecting the Expected

The Midnighter line-up at SXSW seems to be a mish-mash of the weird and the very surreal, as Amer keeps viewers on their toes in fantasy crazyland. The film Amer begins with a shot of a razor over a mouth, or an eye and the trailer is not somewhat, but very disturbing. The early promotional material shows a hodge-podge of images, that come across as disconcerting. Horror fans might have a similar, or very different experience from watching this trailer, provided below. Those who are interested in the bizarre, will need to have a look at this Helene Cattet (Santos Palace) directed film. If you see this film in Austin, Texas drop a note here and let others know what to expect from this Midnighter entry.

A unique synopsis for Amer here:

"Desire has always been linked to one's look. And cinema too. Luis Buñuel knew that very well when he filmed the short of a razor over an eye with a detail shot. Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani recover this image in an experimental film with immaculate style. Someone watches a girl through a keyhole. The wind lightly lifts a woman's skirt as a group of men look on. The fantasy of a dress tearing. Composed of fragments -of eyes, lights, shadows, gestures-- and without dialogues, Amer delves into the life of Ana, always halfway between the real and the imaginary. A film of sensations, always shot skin-deep (Twitch)."
