Another Earth

Writer and director Mike Cahill made his feature debut with this Sci-Fi infused drama. A tragic accident shatters the lives of an ambitious student and a composer which coincides with the discovery of a planet. Despite its flaws, Cahill and co-writer and star Brit Marling created an original and thought provoking drama about redemption and recovery of two people whose lives are devastated in an instant. Marling and William Mapother deliver powerful performances that drives the story and make the film work. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.

I saw 'Another Earth' and I liked it. Amazing scene with a guy playing a saw - how many
movies have that?! You can listen to the ethereal music from this scene on the composer's website

I agree. I have a friend who played the saw which I always found fascinating. Thanks for the post.
