Ira Sach‘s Passages has been raising excitement since it’s world premiere back at Sundance Film Festival. We’ve known for a while MUBI are set to release the film in September, today we finally get a look at the official Trailer.
The film stars Ben Whishaw , Franz Rogowski and Adèle Exarchopoulos.
The film has been described as a blazingly modern and unashamedly sexy portrait of romantic chaos. Set in Paris, this seductive drama tells the story of Tomas (Rogowski) and Martin (Whishaw), a gay couple whose marriage is thrown into crisis when Tomas begins a passionate affair with Agathe (Exarchopoulos), a younger woman he meets after completing his latest film.
After completing his latest project, filmmaker Tomas (Rogowski) impulsively begins a heated love affair with a young school teacher, Agathe (Exarchopoulos). For Tomas, the novelty of being with a woman is an exciting experience that he is eager to explore despite his marriage to Martin (Whishaw). But when Martin begins his own affair, the mercurial Tomas refocuses his attention on his husband.
Set in contemporary Paris, Passages charts an escalating battle of desire between three people, where want is constant and happiness is just out of reach. Exquisitely shot and featuring honest, emotionally nuanced performances, Sachs has created a breathtakingly intimate and insightful drama exploring the complexities, contradictions, and cruelties of love and longing.
The film also stars Erwan Kepoa Falé, Arcadi Radeff, and Léa Boublil. Passages is set for a cinema release in the UK and Ireland from 1st September, before heading to MUBI Streaming channel.
