Director Lynne Ramsay hit a few high notes over the summer with her new thriller, You Were Never Here. Next to a seven-minute standing ovation, the film made noise in May competing for the Palme d’Or at Cannes and ultimately earned best sceeenplay and best actor with Joaquin Phoenix leading the tale inspired by Jonathan Ames’s 2013 novella.
A missing teenage girl. A brutal and tormented enforcer on a rescue mission. Corrupt power and vengeance unleash a storm of violence that may lead to his awakening.
Amazon Studios acquired U.S. rights to the film several months before the film launched its shoot last year. Its releases remain pending while the film is expected to open later this year in Europe.
Phoenix is joined by Ekaterina Samsonov, Alessandro Nivola, Judith Roberts and John Doman. The official teaser arrived on Thursday in the months following teaser clips. Check it out below!
