Preview: Treeless Mountain (2009)

Synopsis:

Two young children fill a small piggy bank at their mother's insistence as when it is full, she will return to them. And so they wait and work hard to try and fill the piggy bank to bring her back sooner.

• Poster: B-

Review:

Naturalistic is what one of the positive comments given in the trailer and this poster does have such an element, prefering to keep a large part of the poster rooted on the sky with the simple title elements and the young, realistic poses of the children drawing your attention to the bottom of the poster.

• Trailer: B

Review:

Although there isn't much to go on, what is presented does seem like it could be an easily effecting film with strong child performances and hopefully a good concept, which isn't very well explored in the trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

This could be a contender for an Oscar nomination as it should appeal to a broad demographic within the Academy.

Release Date:
