One might assume that the presences of Diane Kruger, Norman Reedus, and Lena Dunham would’ve lent a fair amount of attention to Sky when it premiered at last year’s Tiff, yet the few and, at that, fairly middling responses from critics didn’t send much encouragement. IFC found something to like, however: after picking it up last fall, they’ve slotted it for a theatrical and VOD release next month.
Here, now, is a domestic trailer that gives some sense of Sky‘s trajectory and texture, the latter of which I — thanks to muddy colors, lived-in spaces, and smeary digital cinematography — can take some interest in. What will that amount to? Even with a total lack of inspiring notices being taken into account, I can’t say a sense of promise has been diminished.

The road trip movie in which a character finds themselves across the beautiful American landscape is pretty familiar ground, but in the upcoming "Sky" starring Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus, it gets a bit of French flavor.

Above: Polish poster for Young Törless (Volker Schlöndorff, West Germany, 1966). Design by Kazimierz Krolikowski (1921-1994).
Since Volker Schlöndorff’s newest film, Diplomacy, is opening in New York next week (full disclosure, I work for the distributor) I thought I’d take a look back at the posters for the 25 or more films he has made over he past half a century. Though I quickly discovered that from the late 80s onwards there is little of note (Palmetto, anyone?), I have found some gorgeous posters from the first twenty years of his career, when Schlöndorff was one of the most important directors of the New German Cinema. What is striking is the wide variety of looks given to some of his films, most particularly the international posters for his breakout success The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum which he co-directed with his then-wife Margarethe von Trotta (though shame on the French...
