STARRING: Joaquin Phoenix, Patti LuPone, Amy Ryan

DIRECTOR: Ari Aster

DURATION: 2:59

RATING: R

After two wildly successful projects with A24, writer/director Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar) returns with his third collaboration for the bold and ingeniously depraved new film, BEAU IS AFRAID. Academy-award winner Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) stars in the highly anticipated surreal horror-comedy.

The film follows Beau (Phoenix), a paranoid and anxiety-ridden man who embarks on a bizarre and epic odyssey to return home to his mother. On his adventures, Beau is forced to face his darkest fears in strange, fantastical worlds bursting with colour and confusion.

Phoenix’s captivating lead performance along with the striking contrast between bright, picturesque visuals and the eery uncertainty of the mind-bending world makes for another uniquely engrossing experience that cements Aster as a pioneer of modern horror and surrealism.
