Abel Ferrara Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

The trailer for Tommaso, a new film from cult filmmaker Abel Ferrar and starring Willem Dafoe has landed online. The movie is the latest teaming of the two who have previously worked on the likes of Pasolini in 2014 and the upcoming Siberia, which screened at the Berlin Film Festival back in February.

Willem Dafoe’s character Clint is not going to be the only one struggling to find meaning in Siberia, the latest rumination on life from agent provocateur Abel Ferrara. Not only does the screenplay, which Ferrara wrote with Christ Zois, seem like a highly personal exploration of the director’s own psyche, but it is peppered with dreamlike/drug-like encounters with pregnant women, naked dwarves, shamans and magicians who pop out of nowhere, are questioned and disappear a few minutes later.
