First Trailer for The Suicide Shop

While it's about a family run business that profits from helping people kill themselves, Patrice Leconte's first animated feature The Suicide Shop actually looks like it wants a PG audience. Bold stuff, really. I'm sure the American studios, Pixar included, would never try such a thing.

Here's the first full French trailer for the picture, plus an English-language teaser that was, I believe, made as a proof of concept a couple of years back.

The film is based upon a novel by Jean Teulé, who I read is the partner of Miou Miou. She acted in Leconte's film Tango. So… small world. Better still: it's Miou Miou's birthday today.

It's been a while since Leconte has had a big release in the US or UK, but I've got a hunch that we'll be seeing a lot more of The Suicide Shop.
