‘Salt Along the Tongue’ Trailer – Taste the Madness this May
Check out the trippy trailer for ‘Salt Along the Tongue’, a film that looks to be a descent into pure and utter madness.
I have no idea what’s going on in the trippy trailer for writer/director Parish Malfitano‘s witchy sophomore feature, Salt Along the Tongue, and I don’t care. The film looks like a weird trip through madness…my kind of jam.
“After teenager Mattia’s mother dies unexpectedly, she has no choice but to move in with her aunt Carol, her mother’s identical twin. As Mattia grapples with the loss of her mother and this new way of life with her aunt, a treacherous family secret begins to come to light. From beyond the grave Mattia’s mother possesses her daughter, not only trying to protect Mattia from the same fate that befell her, but also to find reconciliation with her twin sister, using food as a gateway.”
Dina Panozzo, Laneikka Denne, Mayu Iwasaki, Maria de Marco, Nicole Toum, Caroline Levien, Olga Olshansky, Helen Vassiliadis and Liz Lin star.
Malfitano’s film is said to explore his own Italian heritage with a haunting tale rooted in the malocchio (evil eye) superstition.
The director states that the film combines elements of Volver, Possession, Three Women and Don’t Look Now. That’s quite a wild assortment of inspirations. I’m intrigued.
Taste the madness of Salt Along the Tongue when it lands on VOD May 1st via Yellow Veil Pictures.
