Beau Is Afraid Trailer: Ari Aster’s New Film Looks Trippy as Hell

Director Ari Aster is thought for his critically acclaimed horror movies Hereditary and Midsommar, however his upcoming movie Beau Is Afraid seemingly has a twist. As its title implies, its major character (Joaquin Phoenix) is definitely terrified by the world… however that world seems to be way more weird than threatening, at the least as this buck-wild first trailer exhibits.

There’s no official synopsis, however whenever you watch it, I believe you’ll see why:

1) There’s most likely no explaining the movie earlier than you watch your complete factor, and a pair of) Aster certainly has no want to attempt to clarify something in regards to the movie earlier than folks see Phoenix journey by a sprawling, more and more fantastical panorama for what looks as if a decade or extra. But whereas there are definitely disturbing parts, like no matter’s occurring with Beau’s mother from the start of the trailer and riots within the streets, however as soon as Beau steps out of actuality issues look comparatively benign. Besides, who’s to say regardless of the hell the sinister character performed by Nathan Lane isn’t as a lot as fantasy because the cartoonish wonderland Beau wanders by for seemingly years?

However, given that is an Aster movie, I really feel issues are most likely not as simple as they appear, and sure, I say that figuring out issues already don’t look simple in any respect. Beau Is Afraid additionally stars Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Zoe Lister-Jones, Armen Nahapetian, Parker Posey, and Patti LuPone, which is a hell of a forged. It’s at present set to hit theaters on April 21.
