A Bigger Splash UK trailer: StudioCanal debuts a new look at the February release.
The A Bigger Splash UK trailer has just been released. The film arrives in cinemas next month, and we really suggest you check it out as we really enjoyed it after seeing it at last year’s London Film Festival.
A Bigger Splash is a dazzling, sensuous portrait of desire, jealousy and rock ‘n’ roll under the Mediterranean sun. From Luca Guadagnino, director of the Academy Award-nominated I Am Love, and starring Ralph Fiennes (Spectre), Dakota Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey), Matthias Schoenaerts (Far From the Madding Crowd) and Tilda Swinton (The Grand Budapest Hotel), A Bigger Splash is set to be a must-see for audiences this February.
When a high-profile couple – a rock star and a filmmaker decide to vacation on a remote Italian island, their rest is disrupted by the sudden visit of an old friend and his sexy, yet mysterious daughter. Suddenly, what was supposed to be an ideal getaway turns into a whirlwind of jealousy, passion and danger for everyone in the group.
Here’s a little from our original review.
A Bigger Splash is an intriguing film that will may the viewer thinking of the back catalogue of Jonathan Glazer, not just because of the interrupted holiday plot line, like we saw in Sexy Beast, but the visual and editing style that Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino employs throughout. We have cleaver jump cuts and endless sequences involving very unconventional camera angles and tracking techniques. The similarities with Sexy Beast doesn’t end there, and while Ralph Fiennes’ Harry hasn’t got as much of a potty-mouth, or is indeed as psychopathic as Ben Kingsley’s Don Logan in Glazer’s impressive 2000 thriller, he’s almost as tightly wound, and such a departure from the actor’s usual work (excluding In Bruges, of course). Fiennes is on fire here, and probably the film’s biggest asset along with Swinton, who is also as excellent as always. Fiennes’ big mouth perfectly balances with Swinton’s muted rock star (she’s resting her vocal chords following an operation). Johnson and Schoenaerts provide excellent support in roles of the jealous boyfriend and Harry’s immense immature daughter respectively.
