Approaching psychedelic levels of strangeness, our exclusive clip from Antibirth makes the case ... well, I don't know what case it makes, but it sure is weird.
It's also NSFW (Not Safe For Work), and PNSFPWOTP (Probably Not Safe For Pregnant Women Or Their Partners).
Synopsis: Hard-drinking, pill-popping, bong-ripping Lou (Natasha Lyonne) and her best friend Sadie (Chloë Sevigny) spend their days adrift in a druggy haze. But one wild night out becomes a bad trip that never ends when Lou wakes up with symptoms of an unexplained, highly abnormal pregnancy. Who -- or what -- is growing inside her?
As her due date approaches with alarming swiftness, the fear, paranoia, and conspiracy theories begin to pile up. Spiked with blasts of hallucinatory color, surreal shocks, and subversive comedy, the audacious feature debut from Danny Perez is a no-holds-barred descent into delirium.
We definitely get the hallucinatory color in the clip, though I haven't seen the movie yet and don't know if it represents reality or nightmare, or some combination of both. In any event, the great Meg Tilly also stars.
Antibirth will open in select theaters, on VOD, and via digital platforms this Friday, September 2 from IFC Midnight. (That's Labor Day weekend, a holiday here in the U.S. an timely reminder for all.) Watch the clip below.
