We’d love to share with you the first trailer and poster for Eliza Hittman’s powerful-looking debut feature IT FELT LIKE LOVE.The film tells the story of Lila (Gina Piersanti), a fourteen year old spending a hot summer in a blue-collar Brooklyn neighbourhood far removed from the bustling city. For the official synopsis, we’re told that Lila is:
Awkward, lonely, and often playing the third wheel, Lila is determined to emulate the sexual exploits of her more experienced best friend. She fixates on Sammy, a tough older guy, when she hears that “he’ll sleep with anyone.” Deluded in her romantic pursuit, Lila tries desperately to insert herself into Sammy’s gritty world, but in doing so she puts herself into a dangerously vulnerable situation.
Not all indie projects manage to create a consuming and interesting concept, from a similar scenario, but this does look pretty intense and with it – we’re intrigued. Check out the trailer below:
IT FELT LIKE LOVE toured the festival circuit last year (Including the BFI Film Festival here in the UK) and will initially open in the USA in March. For more info, please do visit their official website – our source! – right here: ItFeltLikeLove
