The new UK trailer and poster for the upcoming Ismael’s Ghosts has debuted online. The film was the opening film of the 2017 Cannes Film Festival and will land in UK cinemas on June 1st of this year. Mathieu Amalric, Marion Cotillard, and Charlotte Gainsbourg are amongst the impressive cast of the film, which is directed by Arnaud Desplechin.
Twenty-one years ago, Carlotta (Cotillard) ran away. She ran away from her life and her husband, believed to be dead. Now, twenty-one years later, she is back from the void. Her husband Ismael (Amalric) has been busy rebuilding a life for himself with Sylvia (Gainsbourg) and working on his next feature film. As Ismael’s trials and tribulations unfurl, so too do those of his new film’s protagonist: the idle, funny and reckless diplomat Ivan Dédalus (Louis Garrel).
With Ismael’s Ghosts, Desplechin returns once more to the past; layering narrative upon narrative as a means of stepping back in time and proving yet again that his brand of genius lies in his ability to find light in the darkest of places.
The new poster for the UK is above. Here’s the latest trailer.
