As you can see from the headline, This Must Be the Place has a pretty strange premise. Oscar winner Sean Penn stars as a Robert Smith-like Goth rocker who comes to America to see his dying father for the first time in 30 years, and then searches for the S.S. officer that made his life hell in Auschwitz. There are also Arcade Fire jokes. Click through to watch -- though be mindful of the volume varying music cues.
They really want to sell that Iggy Pop cue, no? Goodness! When This Must Be the Place debuted at Cannes back in May, Movieline's Stephanie Zacharek wrote that the Paolo Sorrentino-directed film was "ill-conceived and so bizarrely executed." Judging from this French trailer, that sounds about right.
Place doesn't have U.S. distribution at the moment; it arrives in France on Aug. 24.
VERDICT: Boys don't cry.
