"If you show weakness, people will walk all over you." Do you know the story of Kitty Genovese? A trailer has debuted for the film 37, inspired by the true story of the murder of Kitty Genovese in 1964. The title refers to the 37 people who were witnesses to her rape and murder, yet did nothing to stop it. The film is told entirely from the perspectives of her apathetic neighbors in Queens, who chose not to get involved for fear of unintended consequences. The ensemble cast stars Samira Wiley, Michael Potts, Maria Dizzia, Jamie Harrold, Thomas Kopache, Lucy Martin, Adrian Martinez, Sophia Lillis, Marquise Gary and Christina Brucato as Kitty Genovese. This trailer shows promise, even though it seems so depressing.
Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Puk Grasten's 37, straight from Vimeo (found via TMB):
37 is a powerful drama and a fictional account of the night Kitty Genovese was murdered in 1964, Kew Gardens, Queens, where 37 neighbors witnessed the killing and did not intervene. 37 examines the lives of a group of families during the day and night of a tragedy that shocked America. 37 is both written and directed by Danish filmmaker Puk Grasten, making her feature directorial debut. This is based on her own short film she made in 2013 while at NYU. The film premiered at the Göteborg Film Festival in Sweden and played at the Moscow Film Festival, where it won Best Director and the Russian Film Critics' Best Film. Puk Grasten's 37 opens in limited theaters + on VOD starting October 7th this fall. Anyone interested in this?
