My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done

Here's the poster for the new Werner Herzog film, My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done.

The film, produced by David Lynch, follows the story of a man who kills his mother with a sword while acting out a Sophocles play. It's based on a true story.

The film features, Michael Shannon, Willem Dafoe, Chloe Sevigny, Udo Kier and Michael Pena. Only Michael Shannon has a non-weird name.

On December 11th, the movie opens at New Yorks IFC Center, then to select theaters after.

This sounds damn cool and weird. While I'm sure that it will play nowhere near me, I'll really be looking for this on the home release. If the plot alone hasn't drawn you in, here's the trailer. Man, Werner Herzog produced by David Lynch. Yep. This isn't one that you're going to be able to watch only once and fully appreciate.
