Op het filmfestival van Cannes is Under the Silver Lake van It Follows-regisseur David Robert Mitchell in première gegaan. In de film gaat Andrew Garfield op zoek naar zijn verdwenen buurvrouw (Riley Keough), met wie hij net een fijne avond beleefde, in de hippe Silver Lake-buurt in Los Angeles.

Er werden de eerste twee clips uit de film vrijgegeven en ondertussen staan ook enkele reacties van de filmpers online.

Under the Silver Lake is A LOT. Probably too much, but you can’t say David Robert Mitchell doesn’t have a vision. He’s just got a ton of them in one move. #cannes2018

I'm not a critic at #Cannes2018 but sometimes I play one on Twitter: UNDER THE SILVER LAKE is cracked and goofy and wonderful. I just want to luxuriate in its secret-history-of-L.A. strangeness forever. Our @TimeOutNewYork review: https://t.co/IwM2AjJe02

THR's review of UNDER THE SILVER LAKE, the new movie from IT FOLLOWS filmmaker David Robert Mitchell: "even if the movie adds up to less than the sum of its too numerous parts, individual scenes are transfixing" "Andrew Garfield in magnetic form" https://t.co/29qDEymPTY

UNDER THE SILVER LAKE: Silly-minded plunge into the overstimulated male psyche, yet also a pure form exercise in sexual frustration. Garfield brilliantly plays it like a sleepless acid trip. Obsession, lonlieness & socially incompetent behavior aboard, but ALL HAIL The Hobo King!

Liked it lots, but also so hazy and shattered in consciousnes. Sometimes to a fault. Bound to be one of the most polarizing films of the year but I expect a big PHAT communal Film Twitter embrace.

Since it just premiered at #Cannes2018, can I finally gush about how much of an awesome, psychedelic trip Under the Silver Lake is?
