Oscar campaigns are laid out months in advances, and as we discussed on our recent podcast, some awards season psychics like to set up the narrative far in advance, even if a lot can change. Those prognosticators better get ready, because the first trailer for J.C. Chandor‘s "A Most Violent Year" is here, and it looks like strong stuff.
The latest from the director behind "Margin Call" and "All Is Lost" is led by Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, telling the story of an immigrant and his family trying to expand their business amidst the rampant violence, decay, and corruption during one of the most violent years in New York City’s history. The film looks to be a pretty fascinating look at the cost of ambition, and the cinematography by Bradford Young ("Ain’t Them Bodies Saints") looks pretty damn impressive.
"A Most Violent Year" arrives in limited release on December 31st and will expand in 2015. Watch below.
