This Week In Trailers: Circo, The Great White Silence, Norwegian Wood, All That Remains, Waste Land, The Bleeding By Christopher Stipp/Feb. 25, 2011 8:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect.
