what initially caught my eye were the beautiful stills for this flick, but even better the storyline sounds quite fantastic. I've been eagerly awaiting a trailer ever since and finally found one yesterday, and while it doesn't contain any subs it does showcase the fantastic photography with a hint of German Expressionism.

Nowhere Man, which is directed by Patrice Toye, had a simultaneous world premier yesterday at both the Venice and Montreal film festivals and was just picked up by French sales agent Funny Baloons. What really interests me about this film, that is besides the great looking photography, is the story is about a man who fakes his own death and runs off to live on an island, seemingly Robinson Carusoe style.
