Hey guys! Horrorella here...
The first official domestic trailer for Olivier Assayas' CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA has arrived. The film stars Juliette Binoche as a lauded actress asked to return to the play that launched her career. This time, however, she will be stepping into the role of the older leading character, while the younger character that she once made famous will be taken on by a young starlett (Chloe Grace Moretz).
The film has garnered praise on the festival circuit, particularly for the performances from Binoche and Kristen Stewart, who plays the role of her assistant. The trailer hints at an interesting power struggle between the three characters, and the footage here shows all of the players taking on their respective roles confidently.
CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA opens in limited release on April 10th. What do you guys think?
At the peak of her international career, Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche) is asked to perform in a revival of the play that made her famous twenty years ago. But back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young girl who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena. She departs with her assistant (Kristen Stewart) to rehearse in Sils Maria; a remote region of the Alps. A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Chloë Grace Moretz) is to take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in essence, an unsettling reflection of herself.
