Renowned Elmo tormentor Ricky Gervais has teamed again with his The Office/Extras co-creator Stephen Merchant to write and direct Cemetery Junction. And… and… honestly, I have no idea what it’s about. I watched this trailer four times now and couldn’t understand a word of it. Is that a real language that they’re speaking? If so, is it called Chimney Sweep?? Here’s what the studio claims it is about:
Cemetery Junction, set in 1970s England, follows three blue-collar friends who spend their days joking, drinking and chasing girls. Freddie (Christian Cooke) wants to leave their working-class world, but cool, charismatic Bruce (Tom Hughes) and lovable loser Snork (Jack Doolan) are happy with life the way it is.
Okay. That’s what they claim. But to me this could just as easily be a movie about the formation of The Beatles. Or the Stones. Or Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders. I CAN’T F***ING TELL!!
Watch the trailer after the jump, and please provide translation in the comments section.
