Winning awards at last year's Cannes, then performing well at Sundance and again here at Filmfest DC, Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy's ambitious drama The Tribe is due for a release this summer. And with Cannes kicking off today, Drafthouse Films have decided it's a good time to debut the latest trailer for the dialogue-free film.
That there's no dialogue shouldn't be a problem, right? Because of subtitles? Well, there aren't any of those, either, as the film is set at a school for the deaf where sign language is the only form of communication. It's there that we encounter a young man who tries to fit into the school's mafia-like hierarchy.
While some of the reviews have praised the narrative conceit for emphasizing cinema as a visual medium, just as many reviews have slammed it for keeping audiences disconnected. All of us missed it at Sundance and at Filmfest (*grumble*), but we'll make up for it when The Tribe opens June 17th.
