First Images from Director Neil Jordan’s ONDINE Starring Colin Farrell, Alicja Bachleda, Stephen Rea

Director Neil Jordan’s new movie “Ondine” premiere’s at this year’s Toronto Film Festival. The film is being billed as a “lyrical, modern fairy tale that tells the story of Syracuse (Colin Farrell), an Irish fisherman whose life is transformed when he catches a beautiful and mysterious woman (Alicja Bachleda) in his nets. His daughter Annie (Alison Barry) comes to believe that the woman is a magical creature, while Syracuse falls helplessly in love. However, like all fairy tales, enchantment and darkness go hand in hand.”

While I’m not sure what to make of the film based on the synopsis, I’ll admit to being very curious. And with the film premiering in a few weeks, we’ll all know if this is a winner soon enough. Until then, take a look at the new images after the jump:
