Trailer Watch: The Monk

I’m rather surprised this kind of story was published so many centuries ago.

The Monk

	Plot Summary: Based on a classic 18th Century novel about a man, raised by Capuchin monks, who believes temptation isn’t something he’ll ever have to deal with. Release Date: March 8, 2013
	Poster	Trailer
	Rating: C+ Commentary: I guess making a monk look sexy can help sell a period film about a tempted monk, but the overall design is limited and doesn’t sell the film for what it is.	Rating: C+ Commentary: The trailer goes by to quickly and never draws us into the story the way it should. They highlight the fact that it was based on an old book, but don’t make the then-taboo subject matter seem that taboo.
