"You create illusions to make the lives of your clients better." Mubi has released a new official US trailer for the docu-drama film Family Romance, LLC, the latest narrative feature from beloved prolific German filmmaker Werner Herzog. This premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year, and we also posted a review from this year's Rotterdam Film Festival (IFFR). This was shot in Japan, with Japanese actors, in the Japanese language. And it's about a special business that can help provide romance, or friends, or family, or followers – all for money. The main story follows a man who is hired to impersonate the missing father of a 12 year old girl. Starring Yuichi Ishii and Mahiro Tanimoto. It's another of these strange Herzog social commentaries about disconnection and love and how we fabricate connection to find some happiness in life. Mubi is also hosting a "virtual premiere" + an extended online Q&A with Werner Herzog coming up in July.
Here's the new official US trailer (+ poster) for Werner Herzog's Family Romance, LLC, from YouTube:
