Gael Garcia Bernal & Diego Luna Produce New Film By 'Leap Year' Director Michael Rowe

There's a new wing at the mental hospital, one that few people know about. Netflix subscribers who were looking for a carefree, Jim Ferguson-approved romantic comedy available on Instant Watch instead stumbled upon a title with an uncompromising look at sex. No Amy Adams, just golden showers and sadomasochism. No cure has been discovered for these now-comatose victims, visitation is prohibited, and Netflix has been required to differentiate the two movies in question by forcing Michael Rowe's "Leap Year" to include its Spanish title, Año Bisiesto, nestled in parentheses immediately following its English name.

Of course, there were people that actually wanted to watch this thing... and they're doing just fine. Recipient of the Camera d'or at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, "Leap Year" centers on a lonely journalist and her intense (not to mention increasingly violent and vile) sexual relationship with a man. It's quite a perturbing experience to say the least, »
