Welcome Back Miss. Mulligan

This Friday, October 15 we are very excited to welcome back Carey Mulligan to the screen. She helped open our doors this past January with her celebrated role in An Education and now she is back with her new role in Never Let Me Go. Carey is joined on screen by Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield (currently on screen in The Social Network). Even more exciting though is that Never Let Me Go is an adaptation of the novel by one of contemporary fiction's most celebrated authors, Kazuo Ishiguro. The screenplay was adapted by novelist Alex Garland who also just happened to write a little cult classic called The Beach. These are serious credentials here. To top it off Never Let Me Go was directed by Mark Romanek whose previous film One Hour Photo gave Robin Williams the chance to play his creepiest role ever.

So enough with the resume, let's talk about the film itself. Never Let Me Go centers around Kathy (Mulligan), Ruth (Knightley) and Tommy (Garfield), who become entangled in a love triangle complicated by the fact that all three are laboratory specimens, raised in order to provide their organs to severely ill patients. Though it's subject matter is the stuff of science fiction, it is far from it. Never Let Me Go is a beautiful and tragic love story, in the old school sense. Check out the trailer below:

I was lucky enough to get a ticket to the premiere of Never Let Me Go when I was in Toronto and thought it was one of the best of this year's festival. Andrew O'Heheir from salon.com agrees and trust me he is able to capture his thoughts on paper much better than I.

Help us welcome Carey back!
