På årets Rotterdam Film Festival i februari kommer det allmänna geniet Omar Rodriguez-Lopez att premiärvisa sin debutfilm The Sentimental Engine Slayer. Hypen hos oss som vet vad denne man är kapabel till är förstås hög och förhoppningsvis dröjer det inte för lång tid innan filmen kommer på DVD. Omar spelar huvudrollen, regisserar, producerar, gör musiken (så klart) och har skrivit manus. Värt att nämna är också att John Frusciante står som medproducent.IMDB skriver så här om filmen:
"The Sentimental Engine Slayer tells the compelling, confounding tale of the overdue coming of age of a twenty-something misfit named Barlam. Barlam's awkward transition from boy to man is as much the story of struggling to find one's essence in a world of stereotypes as it is an indictment of the distorted reality of family life in the disengaged 21st century. A bottom-rung grocery bagger whose neo-incestuous relationship with his addict sister, Natalia, causes him no small amount of grief and disillusionment, Barlam seeks solace in the convoluted wisdom of what few male peers are available, namely his androgynous, alcoholic boss, Oscar, and the sister's simple-minded boyfriend, Zack. Seeking an explanation as to the strange circumstances of his apparent lack of family structure, as well as the respect from others fundamentally absent in his mundane model-building existence, Barlam is soon led astray amid a seedy underworld of prostitutes, hustlers and addicts. The labyrinthine plot soon begs questioning as to where reality ends and fantasy begins, Barlam shifting effortlessly between hapless punching bag, assertive surrogate father figure, and rage-prone psychopath."
Och här är första trailern
