#32. Womb
Director/Writer: Benedek Fliegauf
Producers: Gerhard Meixner, András Muhi and Roman Paul
Distributor: Rights Available.
The Gist: The futuristic drama pic tells the story of a grieving widow, played by Green, who decides to clone her late husband…(more)
Cast: Eva Green, Matt Smith and Lesley Manville.
Why is it on the list?: Fliegauf has certainly made his mark because of his visual toolbelt (see his work in the 2004 film Dealer), but critics mentioned an absence in the story-telling department – this might change for the better as Womb received the Krzysztof Kieslowski award (screenwriting) and was part of the Atelier in Cannes — this should make a household name for the filmmaker beyond the Europes.
Release Date/Status?: Cannes is a likely candidate. Genre fests like Fantasia, Austin and Sitges will want to add this to their program.
