Trailer To A24 & Sundance Award Winner ‘Minari’
A24 has released the first trailer for the sweeping drama Minari, which premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, where it won both the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award.
Written and directed by Lee Isaac Chung, the film follows a Korean-American family that moves to a small Arkansas farm in the hopes of building their own American Dream. But when their loving yet somewhat surly grandmother moves in, challenges mount that put pressure on the stability of this struggling family unit.
The cast includes Steven Yeun, Han Ye-ri, Alan Kim, Noel Kate Cho, Youn Yuh-jung, and Will Patton.
It’s the 1980s, and David, a seven-year-old Korean American boy, is faced with new surroundings and a different way of life when his father, Jacob, moves their family from the West Coast to rural Arkansas. His mother, Monica, is aghast that they live in a mobile home in the middle of nowhere, and naughty little David and his sister are bored and aimless. When his equally mischievous grandmother arrives from Korea to live with them, her unfamiliar ways arouse David’s curiosity. Meanwhile, Jacob, hell-bent on creating a farm on untapped soil, throws their finances, his marriage, and the stability of the family into jeopardy.
