"What you're looking for might be right in front of you." Good Deed Entertainment has revealed an official trailer for a Latvian thriller titled Squeal, the latest film made by filmmaker Aik Karapetian - a graduate of the Latvian Academy of Culture. This initially premiered at Fantastic Fest last year and will be out to watch later this month. The film also went under the title Samuel's Travels before being updated to Squeal for release. Lost in remotest part of Eastern Europe, Sam is a foreigner, searching for his biological father. But a minor road accident leads to a chance meeting with a pig-farmer's daughter, who captures him and makes him a slave on the farm. Fortunately, a seemingly magical piglet gains Sam’s confidence and shows him the way to freedom and true love. Sounds kinky and sort of entertaining. Belgian actor Kevin Janssens stars, with Laura Siliņa, Aigars Vilims,...

In the dark coming-of-age tale “The Pit,” narrow-minded rural Latvia seems as full of lurid secrets as Peyton Place, as well as being a locale where everyone has their nose in everyone else’s business. Marking the feature debut of writer-director Dace Pūce (who co-wrote with Monta Gagane and Pēteris Rozītis), it’s adapted from three stories by Latvian literary prize-winner Jana Egle. The action unfolds through the watchful eyes of an emotionally wounded boy stuck with his strict grandmother, but the film’s odd tone, incompletely developed characters and uneven performances fail to match the poignancy of its source. Named as Latvia’s submission for best international film, “The Pit” will premiere Stateside on Dec. 17 via streaming service Film Movement Plus.
