Around these parts, as well as elsewhere, there was a lot of love for 4 months, 3 weeks & 2 days and the film’s star Anamaria Marinca. The young actress has been busy since the film’s premiere working in both television and film but this is the first I’ve seen of her since catching Mungiu’s film.
Storm, the new film from Hans-Christian Schmid whose 2006 release Requiem was much loved, returns with this tale of a woman caught up in a United Nations investigation into war crimes in the former Yugoslavia. Marinca plays Mira a woman who witnessed and suffered some of the brutality and lived to tell about it and who is now being courted by Hannah Maynard (Kerry Fox), idealistic public prosecutor devoted to bringing the people responsible to justice.
The political thriller has already garnered some attention and from the looks of the trailer, for good reason.
Storm opens in the US today.
Whoa, thanks for this, Marina! I adored 4 Months, and she was fantastic in it. This is only in New York right now, but I’ll definitely be looking for it to come here.
