“Who do you think you’re working with, buddy?” Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a crime thriller from Mexico titled I Don’t Expect Anyone to Believe Me, which sounds much more like a film for a sci-fi or supernatural horror than a drama like this. It’s the latest film from the acclaimed filmmaker Fernando Frias of the sensational Mexican drama I’m No Longer Here from a few years ago (which is also on Netflix to watch). In this film, Juan Pablo Villalobos travels with his girlfriend to study for a PhD in Literature in Barcelona. But before he leaves Mexico, he gets involved in a criminal network, which inspires him to write the novel of his dreams (called “I Don’t Expect Anyone to Believe Me”), while his life takes many absurd & sinister turns. Based on the novel by Juan Pablo Villalobos, this stars Darío Yazbek with Natalia Solián, Alexis Ayala, Juan Minujín, Carmen Beato, Anna Castillo, Ivano Palatucci, & Antonia Robolini. This trailer has a much more upbeat vibe than expected, despite all the heavy undertones of the crime story.
Here’s the official trailer for Fernando Frias’ I Don’t Expect Anyone to Believe Me, from YouTube:
