It seems like we've been following this film forever and
finally we have some news from Anders Ronnow Klarlund's
How To Get Rid of the Others. Klarlund, of course, is the Danish director of the stunning puppet animation
Strings and with this, his latest film, he has gone another direction entirely shooting a live action, very dark satire poking fun at the far right's criticism of socialism and welfare and positing a world in which the elderly and infirm are simply disposed of rather than letting them become a drain. We've posted stills for this in the past and Klarlund's mock manifesto and now we finally have a trailer to share. I see a bit of
Battle Royale in there, a bit of
Children of Men, and the sheer ridiculousness of it all had me laughing out loud. Very nice.
