district B-13

26 Jun 2006

Amanda and I saw District B-13 last night at the Belcourt. Do yourself a favor and check out this movie. It’s a lot of fun.

It’s being billed as science fiction for some reason, even though it’s not, really – I guess maybe because it’s in the future, and Luc Besson wrote it. It’s basically just a fun 85-minute action movie. It stars David Belle, a guy I have blogged about before – he’s the founder (more or less) of “Parkour”, which is features in several scenes in the movie. In fact, I didn’t know it at the time, but the movie clips I linked to in that post, including the screencap, are actually from District B-13, which I guess was released France years ago.

UPDATE: Trailer below:

The movie was released in France this year. The clips I’ve seen are jaw-dropping, no doubt. I’ve also noticed there are Parkour clubs all over TN and most every other state - the B-13 page can link you to all kinds of boards where they’re planning events. I look forward to seeing the movie!

If you don’t, I think it’s being released on DVD in September..
