'Afterschool' Trailer Hits

I saw 'Afterschool' last year at the New York Film Festival. I can definitely imagine Antonio Campos doing great work in the future, but Manohla Dargis was correct in referring to the director as a baby Michael Haneke. Mr. Haneke is certainly one of the best infant versions of a filmmaker to be. Regardless, the trailer for 'Afterschool' (distributed by IFC Films, it opens in limited release Oct. 2nd and On Demand September 30th) is very well put-together. The film's gotten some great reviews since premiering at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. I'm not sure why I can't post the trailer, or why Comingsoon.net is not sure of whom the writer or director of the film is (I assure you, it's Antonio Campos) but watch the trailer here. Also, if you want, check out Mr. Campos's trailer for his disturbing short film Buy It Now, which features narrative and documentary versions of a film about a teenager selling her virginity on E-Bay.
