SCREENANARCHY EXCLUSIVE: Seductive New Poster for Michael Rowe's LEAP YEAR
Since winning the prestigious Camera D'Or at Cannes last year, first-time director Michael Rowe's ANO BISIESTO (LEAP YEAR) has been touring the festival circuit and drawing well-founded comparisons with Bernando Bertolucci's butter-smeared erotic classic LAST TANGO IN PARIS. I was lucky enough to catch the film at the Hong Kong International Film Festival earlier this year, and it's a powerful and at times disturbing portrait of a deeply troubled woman searching for gratification and love in all the wrong places. Monica del Carmen is fantastic in the lead, ably supported by the familiar intensity of Gustavo Sanchez Parra.

The film is set for release in the US later this year through Strand Releasing, who have offered us the opportunity to run their rather revealing new poster as an exclusive. There's a larger version in the gallery below as well as the international trailer - which may well prove unsafe for viewing in the workplace.
Synopsis: Laura is 25 years old. She's a journalist, she's single and lives in a small apartment in Mexico City. After a series of short-lived affairs, Laura meets Arturo. After the first time they make love, she is left deeply unsettled. They embark on an intense and passionate sexual relationship, in which pleasure, pain and love merge. As days go by which Laura conscientiously crosses out in a calendar, her secret past resurfaces, pushing Arturo to the limit.
