One of the best films at last year’s BFI London Film Festival was Mark Romanek’s Never Let Me Go. The movie is released on Blu-ray and DVD from 27th June and we’ve got the cover art and disc details for you to see. It’s a gorgeous and heartbreaking flick and one of the most subtle sci-fi movies imaginable.

“Discover a remarkable story of love and loss, in a world where everything is not as it seems… Starring Academy Award® nominee Keira Knightley, Academy Award® nominee Carey Mulligan and BAFTA Award® nominee Andrew Garfield, and based on the acclaimed, best-selling novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go is released on Blu-ray and DVD on 27 June 2011 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Kathy (Mulligan; An Education), Tommy (Garfield; The Social Network and Ruth (Knightley; Atonement), three very unusual children, form a lifelong bond during their childhood at idyllic English boarding school, Hailsham.

As children, they are slowly introduced to the dark and haunting secret about the fate that awaits them as adults… and when they leave the shelter of the school behind, they are forced to confront reality as well as the deep feelings of love, loss and jealousy that threaten to pull them apart.

From acclaimed director Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo), and adapted for the screen by Alex Garland (The Beach, 28 Days Later), Never Let Me Go was nominated for an astonishing six British Independent Film Awards.

Also added two more posters of the film in gallery and a HQ version of an old one:

With the impending UK release of Never Let Me Go, the hauntingly enigmatic movie based on Kauzo Ishiguro’s acclaimed novel of the same name, here is an interview with Carey Mulligan who stars as the adult Kathy and the story’s narrator, a human clone and carer whose lifelong friendship with Keira Knightley’s Ruth and Andrew Garfield’s Tommy lies at the core of what’s a haunting love story and a devastating and desolate meditation on life and death and the loss of innocence. Never Let Me Go hits cinemas nationwide 11th February 2011. The film was released on DVD in the US Febuary 1st.

You’re a fan of not only of the book, Never Let Me Go, but of Kazuo Ishiguro’s writing in general, aren’t you?

Carey Mulligan: Never Let Me Go is my favourite of Ishiguro’s novels, but I sort of love everything he’s written. It’s the lack of sentimentality and these unreliable narrators he creates, these people who can’t say exactly how they feel and so they reveal themselves without knowing. Everything he talks about is so small and beautiful and detailed and never sort of forces you into any sort of emotion but it’s completely overwhelming in spite of that.

I read [Never Let Me Go] in 2006 and then I read the script last year. Then it went away, like English films do, but then it came back in. She’s 31 in the book and I thought, that’s really annoying, I won’t be able to play her for ages and if they do a film soon I won’t ever get to play Kathy [because] I genuinely wanted to play it from the minute I read the book. But they moved it down to 26 in the script [and] it’s all worked out rather well for me.

“Carey Mulligan is Oscar worthy for her work in ‘Never Let Me Go.’”

The funny thing about “Never Let Me” Go is how its languorousness invites the viewer to project a meaning on to it. Yes, that projection requires ignoring a few things about the characters and what is happening on screen but there is something valuable and even entertaining about a movie that gives the viewer so much room to move around. Some have found parallels to the holocaust. The great Roger Ebert finds a modern equivalent in the sad fate of workers at big box stores like Wal-Mart. Other critics acknowledge a philosophical truth in the film that is just out of their grasp but somehow knowing it is there is enough for them.

Strangely, I find myself somewhere within that last group. I too want to believe and have searched for various philosophic or metaphoric meanings in Mark Romanek’s gorgeous direction and Alex Garland’s teasing screen adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s moving if also vaguely interpreted novel.

Kathy (Carey Mulligan) fell in love with Tommy when both were young students at an out of the way private school somewhere in the English countryside. Kathy was a self conscious introvert with soul of an artist. Tommy was an outcast prone to violent rages that only served to make him even more of an outcast.

The center of their world is their relationship with Ruth (Keira Knightley), a popular girl who befriended Kathy in search of a worshipper and fell in with Tommy as a way of preventing that worship from being cast elsewhere. It’s clear to us and especially clear to Ruth that Tommy and Kathy should be together but her insecure need for their attention supercedes her ability to let her friends be happy. Continue Reading »

There are some brand new photos of Carey at Never Let Me Go in the gallery:

• [x004] Never Let me Go – STILLS – Promotional Still of Carey in Never Let me Go

Fresh online at Imp Awards are three new character posters for Never Let Go and jolly beautiful they are to, flaunting the film’s none-more-now cast members Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley resplendent in a blue-tinged mist, as well as a one-sheet that’s similarly striking.

Mark Romanek’s take on Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed novel, adaptated by Alex Garland, is the curtain-raiser at this year’s London Film Festival and promises to be one of the LFF highlights. Judging by the trailer, it’s safe to expect one of the year’s most poignant and cerebral sci-fis, exploring the big stuff: love, death and what it means to be human.

The posters feature Kathy (Mulligan), Ruth (Knightley) and Tommy (Garfield), pupils at the mysterious Hailsham boarding school who are being prepared for a shocking fate (and it’s not summer school with George Lineker). LFF ticket holders can catch Never Let Me Go on October 13, while the rest of us will have to wait until January 14.
