A new trailer has been released by Vertigo Films for their May-released film Surge, starring the hugely talented Ben Whishaw. This one has done particularly well on the festival circuit and arrives in cinemas at the end of the month.
Joseph (Whishaw) is trapped in a soulless job, living a life devoid of emotion and meaning. After an impulsive act of rebellion, Joseph unleashes a wilder version of himself. He is propelled on a reckless journey through London, ultimately experiencing what it feels like to be alive.
Director Aniel Karia says of his protagonist, “Though Joseph might seem to be a unique case, I hope that his story is speaking to something much more universal. Now more than ever it feels like we have had enough of surface-existence and are yearning for a deeper more present experience of the world. I hope watching this film feels like a visceral and meaningful trip.”
The film lands on screens on 28th May. Here’s the new trailer.
