Violence, action, fast cars, hordes of redheads, air horns, nudity, and that’s just the trailer. Vincent Cassel is one of my favorite working actors, and after watching this fresh trailer for French director Roman Gavras‘s Our Day Will Come, I don’t think that’s going to change any time soon.This movie looks intense.
American audiences will recognize Cassel from Black Swan. Gavras is best known stateside for directing the epic 9-minute music video for M.I.A.‘s “Born Free“, which got a lot of attention last year for its graphic depictions of violence and sex in a police state.
Our Day Will Come stars Cassel and Olivier Barthelemy, who previously worked together on the excellent Mesrine: Public Enemy #1 and the 2006 horror film, Sheitan. A synopsis and the trailer below [via First Showing]:
What do you do when you’re a red-haired teenage loser with no friends except for an older guy, your shrink? When all your peers make fun of you and kick you around? The answer: you and your loser buddy blow all the cash you can get your hands on to buy a sportscar, you dress smart and you head for the land of redheads, Ireland. But what starts off as a search for an ideal, gradually escalates into a rampage of hate, violence and self-destruction.
Our Day Will Come screened at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival and was distributed by Optimum Releasing in the UK, where it’s already available on DVD. There’s still no US distributor in sight, but I expect it will be available online shortly.
