New Trailer And Poster For The "Two Faces Of January"
Writer/director Hossein Amini is screening The Two Faces of January
at the Berlin Film Festival and has released the trailer and poster
online. The film, starring Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst and Oscar
Isaac, is described as follows: 1962. A glamorous American couple, the charismatic Chester
MacFarland (Mortensen) and his alluring younger wife Colette (Dunst),
arrive in Athens by boat via the Corinthian Canal. While sightseeing at
the Acropolis they encounter Rydal (Isaac), a young, Greek-speaking
American who is working as a tour guide,
scamming tourists on the side. Drawn to Colette’s beauty and impressed
by Chester's wealth and sophistication, Rydal gladly accepts their
invitation to dinner. However, all is not as it seems with the MacFarlands and Chester’s
affable exterior hides darker secrets. When Rydal visits the couple at
their exclusive hotel, Chester presses him to help move the body of a
seemingly unconscious man who he claims attacked him. In the moment,
Rydal agrees but as events take a more sinister turn he finds himself
compromised and unable to pull himself free. His increasing infatuation
with the vulnerable and responsive Colette gives rise to Chester’s
jealousy and paranoia, leading to a tense and dangerous battle of wits
between the two men. Their journey takes them from Greece to Turkey, and
to a dramatic finale played out in the back alleys of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar. (comingsoon)
