Trailer: Vanishing Waves (Aurora) (NSFW)The first trailer I saw for Vanishing Waves (aka Aurora) was way back in May on Quiet Earth. This Lithuanian film directed by Kristina Buozyte intrigued me since it looked like a visually-interesting art house work that melded eroticism and science fiction; kind of like a mash-up of Solaris, The Cell, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind directed by cult filmmaker Andrzej Zulawski. This new trailer for Vanishing Waves (which is not safe for work) has definitely kept my interest going. Here's a synopsis:
Vanishing Waves received high honors and praise at Fantastic Fest, Stiges, and Lund this year. The film will hit US theaters some time in 2013. [Via Twitch] Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

1:00 PM on 04.11.2013 Review: To the WonderFirst let me get this out of the way: if you didn't like Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life, steer clear of To the Wonder. The untethered camera lingers like mad, and To the Wonder is rife with various other Malickisms. There...
