Next year, we’re going to see all kinds of Joaquin Phoenix, and that’s just fine by us. 2018 kicks off with the actor reteaming with Gus Van Sant for “Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot” which premieres at Sundance, then in the spring he’ll be Jesus in “Mary Magdalene.” However, we’re most looking forward to the sins he’ll be committing in Lynne Ramsay‘s “You Were Never Really Here,” which debuted at Cannes to incredible notices (including ours).
Directed by the great Lynne Ramsay, and co-starring Judith Roberts, Ekaterina Samsonov, John Doman, Alex Manette, Dante Pereira-Olsen, and Alessandro Nivola, the story follows a war veteran who now tracks down missing girls for a living, and the one assignment that rocks his world. Here’s the official synopsis:
A traumatized veteran, unafraid of violence, tracks down missing girls for a living. When a job spins out of control, Joe’s nightmares overtake him as a conspiracy is uncovered leading to what may be his death trip or his awakening.
Featuring a score by Radiohead‘s Jonny Greenwood, “You Were Never Really Here” opens on April 6, 2018.
