Surreal Clip from 'Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes'



A clip has landed for Francesca Gregorini's Sundance competition entry "Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes," starring Kaya Scodelario ("Wuthering Heights," "Skins") as a young woman who begins a friendship with a neighbor, Linda (Jessica Biel), who looks uncannily like her late mother.
The dream-like quality of the clip matches the Sundance program notes on the film, which promise that the film "vascillates between surrealism and realism" and that "Emanuel must take a courageous journey to enter her dream and help extract Linda from hers."

This is director Gregorini's first solo helming venture, having previously co-directed 2009's "Tanner Hall" with Tatiana von Furstenberg.

"Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes" premieres in Park City on January 18.

Welp, if Kaya is in it I guess I have to see it. I never made it through Wuthering Heights though, I just didn't like that version very much.

Hopefully Kaya's acting has improved since her last couple of outings. This definitely sounds interesting though.

She wasn't so bad in Now is Good but that movie was pretty average overall and she didn't have a lot of screen time

i really want kaya to do well and i don't even know why. but she seems really sweet and tries really hard

I'd probably watch this because I'm shallow and I find Kaya so ridiculously attractive that it really doesn't matter how much ~talent she has as an actress, though I do feel that in some Skins scenes, you could see it was there.

i'll watch this. i'll be one of maybe the 400 ppl total who do.

Not great acting, but I liked it.
