Into the Screen has released a new set of photos and posters from sci-fi romance Upside Down, co-written and directed by Juan Diego Solanas.
Upside Down is a film produced by a French box, Studio 37, where the filming took place in Montreal, before the cameras of the Argentine director Juan Solanas. The cast is composed of international actors: Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess. As for the story, she falls into a world where different worlds meet. Adam lives in one of these worlds, struggling within a civilization ravaged by war and haunted by memories of a young woman from another world, very close, so close, but denied entry.
Plot: Look up towards the sky and rub your eyes because you won't believe what you see: cities, forests, and oceans with their own inverted gravity, only an arm's length away, yet completely unreachable. Take a leap over to this alternate reality, two worlds – one above, one below, facing each other, and you'll land in the extraordinary world of Upside Down, the new ground breaking film of Solanas, the director of the innovative Cannes and César-prized short film The Man Without A Head and heartbreaking 2005 Cannes film Nordeste.
Adam (Sturgess) is a seemingly ordinary guy in a very extraordinary universe. He lives humbly trying to make ends meet, but his romantic spirit holds on to the memory of a girl he met once upon a time from another world, an inverted affluent world with its own gravity, directly above but beyond reach… a girl named Eve (Dunst). Their childhood flirtation becomes an impossible love. But when he catches a glimpse of grown-up Eve on television, nothing will get in the way of getting her back… Not even the law or science!
The film also stars Jayne Heitmeyer, Larry Day, Holly O'Brien, Heidi Hawkins, Jesse Sherman and Nicholas Rose.

Adam and Eve, how very original.
It says nothing about the quality of the film of course, but such a major cliche is pretty off putting.
