A new U.S. trailer has been released for The Unknown Country, a new film starring Lily Gladstone, who will soon be seen in Martin Scorsese’s opus Killers of the Flower Moon. The actor is gaining huge acclaim for her performance in that film, with even early Oscar-buzz following the film’s premiere in Cannes last month. This film, which is the feature debut from writer/ director Morrisa Maltz, hits screens in key cities over there from 28th July.
Reeling from a devastating loss, Tana (Lily Gladstone) is pulled back into the world by an unexpected invitation to her cousin’s wedding. She packs up her late grandmother’s Cadillac and hits the open road, driving from her home in Minnesota to South Dakota. After reconnecting with her Oglala Lakota family, Tana sets off to retrace a surreal journey that her grandmother took decades ago, searching for the spot captured in an old family photograph. As she travels, Tana finds connection in the stories of everyday people who’ve settled down far off the main roads including Isaac (Raymond Lee), who provides a pivotal clue to understanding the lost location that could cultivate closure. A personal reverie summoned from a beguiling mix of fact and fiction, THE UNKNOWN COUNTRY is an arresting debut feature from Morrisa Maltz.
No word on a UK release as yet but here’s the new trailer.
