“I can’t help you… ’till you tell me what happened.” Focus Features has unveiled the first official trailer for the film Anemone, the highly anticipated return of monumental British actor Daniel Day-Lewis (who is now 68 years old). This is set to premiere at the 2025 New York Film Festival in their Spotlight section as a World Premiere before it hits theaters later in October – apparently it’s not playing at Venice, Telluride, or TIFF at all. Family bonds between fathers, sons, and brothers are explored as complex relationships unfold through personal journeys & generational conflicts. The story follows a middle-aged man who sets out from his suburban home on a journey into the woods, where he reconnects with his estranged hermit brother, played by Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis. Bonded by a complicated past, the men share a fraught and slightly tender relationship. The film also stars Sean Bean and Samantha Morton, and it’s co-written by & directed by Daniel’s son Ronan Day-Lewis as his first feature film. With striking cinematography by DP Ben Fordesman. This looks VERY good so far, and especially stylish. Definitely something to watch this fall. // Continue Reading ›
