Directed by an assured Anton Corbijn. Shot by Benoît Delhomme, who created some lovely imagery. Especially like how Philip Seymour Hoffman looks in the final shot of the trailer. Vulnerable in a strange way, aloof, yet dangerous. The beauty and subtlety in the color of the leaves contrasts with the character's choice of clothing -- a tie that's too purple and tied too short with stripes that are angled the wrong way, a weird green coat that's not quite long enough, and posture that conveys a stubborn aggressiveness yet (to me) suggests an impotence -- all set against a too-cool color palette with a subject that is not centered yet whose placement does not adhere to the rule of thirds. The effect is unsettling, and achieved, obviously, without dialogue.
I have to see this movie just to find out what happens in this scene.
Can't take my eyes off this. Great trailer. Must-see movie.
