Sordid atmosphere between Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore in the May-December trailer

And what May December by Todd Haynes?

Several months after its presentation at the Cannes Film Festival, ARP Sélection was presented the trailer of May December, the new film by Todd Haynes. A confusing drama in which Natalie Portman she plays Elizabeth, an actress who wants to play Gracie, a woman doomed after having an affair with an underage boy. A boy who grew up and, once an adult, married this woman played in the film by Juliana Moore.

From the trailer, we hear from you the atmosphere heavy and unhealthy both in the couple and in the relationship between Elizabeth and Gracie. The pushy side of the inspiration-seeking actress mostly seems to serve as a trigger to reignite the trauma experienced by Joe (Charles Melton). Furthermore, the sordid aspect of this story is immediately highlighted by the intervention of a man who turns to Elisabetta saying: “What explains a 36 year old woman having an affair with a fifth grader?“.

Todd Haynes is referring here to the countless various facts of this kind that could have inspired cinema. It’s also fun to note the use of music by Michael Legrand for which it was originally composed The messenger (1971), was later reused as the theme song for Let the accused come in. An involuntary wink from the director who has already made it clear that he doesn’t know the French show.

We finally understand it with these images May December will also question the profession of actor and actress, the choice of a role and what motivates Elizabeth to get so close to Gracie. We therefore expect an intriguing thriller with multiple interpretations, conveyed above all by chosen casting. To see Natalie Portman face Julianne Moore you will have to go to the cinema January 24, 2024. You can already find out our opinion.
