Abel Ferrara’s Mary opens in France a few days before Christmas, and you can click here or here for links to QuickTime files for a trailer and three clips from the film (all in English, with subtitles).
It is interesting to see how the subtitles to the second clip translate Mary’s use of the Greek word “nous” into the French word “L’Intelligence” — capitalized, even! Since the Greek word is itself foreign to English ears, one could argue that it should have stayed Greek even in the subtitles; but perhaps there is a closer parallel between Greek and French philosophies on this point.
FWIW, the film’s website also has a trailer for a profanity-laden making-of documentary on Ferrara and his movie.
