Neil Jordan’s filmography is full of powerful, fantastical tales with Mona Lisa and The Crying Game two iconic early works. His 2009 film, Ondine, was shown at the Toronto International Film Festival last year is due out sometime this year and there’s a nice new trailer out today.
Telling the story of an Irish fisherman, played by Colin Farrell who catches a mermaid in his net, this would appear to play nicely alongside Jordan other supernatural films such as The Company of Wolves and In Dreams. What is certain from the trailer, cinematographer Christopher Doyle has made the most of the haunting Irish seascapes and with Jordan regular Stephen Rea making an appearance this looks to be one to watch.
Thanks to The Playlist for the heads-up, Ondine will be released through Paramount Vantage on the 5th of March in the UK.
