Trailer To ‘The Father’ Starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman
Sony Pictures Classics has released the official trailer to ‘The Father,’ directed by Florian Zeller and starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman. The film will be in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on December 18, with a rollout in major markets on Christmas Day.
Written by Christopher Hampton and Florian Zeller, the film also features Mark Gatiss, Imogen Poots, Rufus Sewell, and Olivia Williams.
Anthony is 80, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carers that his daughter, Anne, encouragingly introduces. Yet help is also becoming a necessity for Anne; she can’t make daily visits anymore and Anthony’s grip on reality is unravelling. As we experience the ebb and flow of his memory, how much of his own identity and past can Anthony cling to? How does Anne cope as she grieves the loss of her father, while he still lives and breathes before her? The Father warmly embraces real life, through loving reflection upon the vibrant human condition; heart-breaking and uncompromisingly poignant – a movie that nestles in the truth of our own lives.
The Father was co-produced by Trademark Films, F Comme Film, Ciné-@ and Les Films du Cru and financed by Viewfinder and Embankment. Producers are David Parfitt, Jean-Louis Livi, Philippe Carcassonne, Christophe Spadone and Simon Friend.
