Judging from the image, you might think that it was a possible production still from Danny Boyle’s rumoured Trainspotting sequel, where Renton uses his stolen money to open up a fancy restaurant and brings Spud along for the ride (In a word: “Pleasure”). But no, this film is stranger. A romantic apocalypse tale starring Eva Green (looking to have the same wardrobe as her other 2011 release, Womb,) Perfect Sense is premiering at Sundance 2011, and is directed David Mackenzie, who made very fine use of Ewan McGregor, along with Tilda Swinton, Peter Mullan and Emily Mortimer, in the criminally underseen Young Adam, a noirish sex-tale also set in Glasgow.
When a truck driver in Glasgow experiences a sudden inexplicable crying fit and subsequently loses his sense of smell, Susan [an epidemiologist] learns that more than 100 other people across Europe have been stricken in similar fashion. As more and more people around the globe begin to suffer these strange symptoms that first attack their emotions and then their symptoms, Susan and Michael [her new boyfriend] are forced to try and weather the storm and find out how the human race might cope with such a pandemic.
The trailer is tucked under the seat.
