Premiering at Sundance in 2011 and spending the rest of the year traveling to film festivals around the world and picking up a couple of awards along the way, "Here," starring Ben Foster and "Incendies" star Lubna Azabal is now settling in to hit theaters next month, and courtesy of Strand Releasing, we're happy to unveil the lovely poster for the film.
Written and directed by filmmaker and music video helmer Braden King (he's worked with Sonic Youth, Chan Marshall, Will Oldham, Tortoise, Low, Yo La Tengo and Sparklehorse among others), the film chronicles a brief but intense relationship between Will (Foster), an American satellite-mapping engineer and Gadarine, an expatriate photographer (Azabal) who impulsively decide to travel across the remote countryside together. However, as their trip comes to an end, the two must decide where their journey will take them next.

Reviews were mixed, but curiousity abounded not only for the chance to see Penn do something quite out of step with his usual screen appearances, but also because of a score led by new tunes from David Byrne and Will Oldham. Well, while we wait for The Weinstein Company to release this movie, details on the soundtrack have arrived, though you'll have to import this one for now.

With his constant output of singles and EPs—including several this year alone—Will Oldham has a lot of opportunities to try new things. And while he frequently changes collaborators and styles on his under-the-radar releases, his LPs have increasingly remained faithful to a familiar brand of rustic folk. So there isn’t much surprising about the sparse, hushed Wolfroy Goes To Town; most of the tracks employ Oldham’s fragile vocals and gentle acoustic strumming, and not much else.
