Neon debuts a snazzy poster for Nacho Vigalondo's COLOSSAL!!!

Hey folks, Harry here...   on April 7th, 2017 you get to see a movie that I have thought about every time I get into my Travel Wheelchair - that still has shards of metallic confetti from the premiere of Nacho Vigalondo's COLOSSAL at Fantastic Fest.   It was the U.S. premiere, as the World Premiere had taken place shortly before at the Toronto International Film Festival.   I suppose I could scrub that confetti from my footrests... but ya know what, every single time I put my feet atop them, I smile.   I smile because it reminds me of that exact moment in history, when I got to see COLOSSAL.

Looking at this poster - it nails the conceit of the film.

The Monkey See Monkey Do...   Avatar driving of a giant monster... but...  as with Time Travel and Aliens before... nothing in a Nacho Vigalondo movie is ever as simple as that.  My favorite Actress performance I saw last year in a featured part was Anne Hathaway in this.  Her character, what her character goes through...   What happens over the running time of this...  Fantasy?  Horror?   Sciene Fiction?  Rom-Com?  Thirller?  Well, you figure it out when you see it.   The film has a bit of everything.  Nacho works supremely in fully exploring the intellect of his concepts.   He allows them to feel silly and wondrous, until it becomes horrific and nightmarish.    He makes you laugh... until it fucking hurts.    And he'll twist that knife.   

Love this movie - and April 7th, you're going to love this film... 

Keep it cool, 

 

Harry
