Film #3 of 300: "Another Earth" (2011)




Brit Marling, Brit Marling, Brit Marling. The name says it all. But for most the name says nothing at all since she has been arguably one of this millennium's most underrated female talents in film.



Her newest writing project, "Another Earth" explores a young woman's newly started life-after-high school and an accomplished orchestra conductor from Yale. Their "two worlds" are brought together by means of a fatal car accident that incidentally occurs on the same night that "another Earth" is discovered within our own solar system.




Things take a complicated turn when John (William Mapother) learns of who Rhoda (Brit Marling) really is and what really happened that fateful night that brought their lives together. Coincidentally, Rhoda has won a shuttle trip to the newly discovered world and now must answer the timeless question, "Would I leave it all behind if I had the chance?"



With an excellent soundtrack composed by the band Fall on Your Sword and the backdrop of New Haven, Connecticut, "Another Earth" is a must-see before "the end of the world in 2012".
