THE LONELIEST PLANET Trailer is an Eerie Journey
The new trailer for The Loneliest Planet has been released. Julia Loktev directed this film, which stars Gael Garcia Bernal and Hani Furstenberg as an engaged couple backpacking through the Caucasus Mountains of Georgia. Of course, things don't go as everyone had planned during the trip.
Here is the synopsis:
Alex (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Nica (Hani Furstenberg) are young, in love and engaged to be married. The summer before their wedding, they are backpacking in the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia. The couple hire a local guide to lead them on a camping trek, and the three set off into a stunning wilderness, a landscape that is both overwhelmingly open and frighteningly closed. Walking for hours, they trade anecdotes, play games to pass the time of moving through space. And then, a momentary misstep, a gesture that takes only two or three seconds, a gesture that's over almost as soon as it begins. But once it is done, it can't be undone. Once it is done, it threatens to undo everything the couple believed about each other and about themselves.

Visit Apple to watch the trailer in HD. Loneliest Planet was well received at Sundance, and I can see why. The cinematography and the use of natural lighting make this film look really good. Bernal and Furstenberg look to both give powerful performances from what the trailer shows. Do you think you would like to see this movie in theaters?
