Enjoy 2 New Featurettes For A Most Violent Year

J.C Chandor‘s A Most Violent Year arrives in UK&Irish cinemas this Friday 23rd February and Icon Film Distribution have sent us these 2 new fantastic featurettes for your visual pleasure.

Since it’s World Premiere back in November at AFI Film festival it has been gaining some fantastic reviews, some that good it topped some critics top 10 films of 2014 even though it wasn’t released in USA until Christmas day! In these new videos we hear the film’s two main leads Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain talk about their past, their craft. Did you know in real life both actually went to the same acting school?

A Most Violent Year is a searing crime drama set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically the most dangerous year in the city’s history. Chandor’s gripping story plays out within a maze of rampant political and industry corruption plaguing the streets of a city in decay and examines one immigrant’s determined climb up a morally crooked ladder, where simmering rivalries and unprovoked attacks threaten his business, family, and – above all – his own unwavering belief in the righteousness of his path. With A Most Violent Year, Chandor journeys in a bold new direction, toward the place where best intentions yield to raw instinct, and where we are most vulnerable to compromise what we know to be right.

It’shard to believe that this is only Chandor’s third film and there’s very few filmmakers who can consistently great fantastic reviews for each film (Margin Call and All Is Lost been the others). Andrew McArthur watched the film last week for The Peoples Movies, he adored the film, I was also there too and the film is a slow burner the really highlights the dangers that people were up against trying to run a legitimate business. It has the look, the feel of Mean Streets, very sophisticated, atmospheric, read Andrew’s review.

A Most Violent Year also stars David Oyelowo, Albert Brooks and Eyles Gabel, out Friday 23rd January
