WETLANDS U.S. Trailer

One of the grossest and most wonderful films I’ve seen this year is the German coming of age comedy Wetlands from director David Wnendt.  The film revolves around a peculiar young woman who winds up in the hospital after a horrific shaving mishap, which gives her some time to reflect upon her life and the relationship she has with her family.

Although I can unequivocally say it’s one of the most disgusting movies I’ve ever seen, there’s a lot of heart in it and  some truly great character moments.  Click here to check out my full review out of Sundance 2014.

Stand Releasing has posted a new U.S. trailer for the film, which opens in select cities September 5th.

Eighteen year-old Helen Memel (Carla Juri) likes to skateboard, masturbate with vegetables and thinks that body hygiene is greatly overrated. Struggling with her parents’ divorce, she spends her time experimenting and breaking one social taboo after the other with her best friend, Corinna (Marlen Kruse). When a shaving accident lands her in the hospital, she sees it as a way to reconcile her parents, but ends up forming an unlikely bond with her male nurse, Robin (Christoph Letkowski) in the process.
