A while back I gushed over Shane Meadows’ This Is England while posting some information about his new film, a drama titled Somers Town which features Thomas Turgoose, a runaway, who befriends a Polish boy and the two of which fall in love with the same girl.
The film had already played a few festivals to many an accolade and was getting ready to open in the UK but we still hadn’t seen a trailer – until now. Thanks to a heads up from our good friends over at Quiet Earth, we bring you the great looking trailer to what will likely be a fantastic film.
Somers Town still doesn’t have a North American release date.
The film tells the unrelated stories of a number of individuals, all of whom appear to be little more than teens, somehow involved in the sex trade. Chantal is an escort, working to make money to support her boyfriend’s dream of recording an album. Melody and Courtney are high school students lured by a teacher into an on-line porn site while Balery, a call girl and dancer, employs Jaron to help her exact revenge on a cheap customer. Individually, the ideas for these stories are all interesting but they suffer from a number of problems ranging from poor acting to painful dialog.
