The trailer for Reprise is like two trailers in one: The first half succeeds at making a literary Norwegian film look quite rock 'n' roll, and the second half turns tragic. What I can gather is that two friends both submit manuscripts, and one gets published. That's obviously good news and they both party, with pretty ladies and anyone else up for it. Until it looks like the friend who didn't get published punches the other one in the face and then ... seems to want to kill himself. I get that it can be tough watching someone else succeed if you are falling on hard times, but this guy might be taking it a bit far. But he does luck out and seems to make it all -- the movie, the story -- about him. So, in at least one way, he bests the successful writer, right? (By the way, there are various trailers floating around for this film, and I went with the one on the official movie site, because I figured it was most likely to be what Miramax wants U.S. viewers to judge the movie on; this one, though, tells a lot more of the story. Apparently, Miramax doesn't want us to know that much, though, so I'll spare you the details.)
