Michael Tully’s Septien gets a release date this summer. The strange film opens in New York City on July 6th at the IFC Center and nationwide OnDemand as part of the IFC Midnight series.<\/p>\n

This film was a selection at both this year’s Sundance Film Festival and South By SouthWest Film Festival. It received a mixed response from both critics and festival-goers alike. I’ve seen this film and I must say that it’s truly unique and a very bizarre experience. Manohla Dargis of the New York Times called this film “Amusingly eccentric.” while Dennis Lim of Artforum called it, “A wry riff on the eccentric Deep South.”<\/p>\n

Official Synopsis:<\/p>\n

Eighteen years after disappearing without a trace, Cornelius Rawlings returns to his family’s farm. While his parents are long deceased, Cornelius’s brothers continue to live in isolation on this forgotten piece of land. Ezra is a freak for two things: cleanliness and Jesus. Amos is a self-taught artist who fetishizes sports and Satan. Although back home, Cornelius is still distant. In between challenging strangers to one-on-one games, he huffs and drinks the days away. The family’s high-school sports demons show up one day in the guise of a plumber and a pretty girl. Only a mysterious drifter can redeem their souls on 4th and goal.<\/p>\n

Triple-threat actor\/writer\/director (and disturbingly gifted athlete) Michael Tully creates a backwoods world that’s only a few trees away from our own, complete with characters on the edge of sanity that we can actually relate to. A hero tale gone wrong, SEPTIEN is funny when it’s inappropriate to laugh, and realistic when it should be psychotic. Goooaaaaaaaaal!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Strange film but worth the watch.<\/p>\n
