The first trailer for Ari Aster’s Beau Is Afraid has landed… and
it’s already looking as brilliantly trippy and out-there and we’d hoped and
expected.
The new A24 movie from the Midsommar director stars Joaquin Phoenix
as the titular Beau – who is a ‘paranoid man’ embarking ‘on an epic
odyssey to get home to his mother’, according to the synopsis. A24 also promise
that it’s a ‘bold and ingeniously depraved’ movie – which we have absolutely no
doubt about.
Due to hit cinemas on April 21, Beau Is Afraid also features a
cast including Nathan Lane, Patti LuPone, Amy Ryan, Kylie Rogers, Parker Posey,
Stephen McKinley Henderson, Hayley Squires, Michael Gandolfini, Zoe
Lister-Jones and Richard Kind.
