Wail On

There's a good chance that some of you International Readers outside of the U.S. have already seen the movie I'm about to link my review to -- Spanish director Pedro Martín-Calero's film The Wailing came out in his home country last year and it's traveled around from there. But it hasn't gotten any release in North America save a few festivals and I'm hoping the good word of mouth changes that quickly, cuz this movie rules. Click here to read my review at Pajiba -- I saw it up in Montreal at Fantasia a couple of weeks ago and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. It's very good! And it's Martín-Calero's very first movie so let's hope we hear more from him. Once we're able to hear this from him, anyway. One movie that kept coming to mind, although I didn't mention it in my review, was Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria -- so that tells you something about how impressive I found it!
