Ballad of a Showering Colin Farrell

The second thing I did after watching this trailer for Ballad of a Small Player, Conclave director Edward Berger's new gambling film starring Colin Farrell and Tilda Swinton, was make the gifs of Colin naked in the shower that you see here, intended to lure you in by me much the same as the shots were included in the trailer by Netflix to lure people like me into posting about the trailer. "Gotcha?" More like "Gotch-us!" We all got good. 

The first thing I did though, even before the gifs, and this one was a surprise, was run to IMDb to make sure that Berger was again working with his usual composer Volker Bertelmann, whose scores for Conclave and All Quiet on the Western Front have been two of my favorite movie scores of recent years. And they are working together again! Yay! So even...

... with Tilda Swinton looking like that (we do love it when she cartoons herself up to eleven) and with naked Colin Farrell, our first priority was the film's music. I feel as if this shows some personal growth? Maybe by the time I'm 90 I'll somewhat resemble an adult. Anyway here's the trailer:

Ballad of a Small Player lands on Netflix on October 15th.
