Seclusion Becomes Seduction In Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled UK Trailer

She’s delivered movies in the neon-lit metropolis of Tokyo (Lost In Translation), Viva La Revolution (Marie Antoinette) to melancholy in Hollywood (Somewhere). After the Bling Ring of 15 minutes of fame, Sofia Coppola returns to big screen with The Beguiled a Civil War Southern Gothic yarn.

Universal Pictures has sent us the movies the UK, a movie based on an adaptation of Thomas Cullinan’s novel of the same name. When seclusion becomes seduction when a Unionist soldier shatter’s a school for young ladies solitude, check out the UK Trailer.

The Beguiled adapted by Sofia Coppola from Thomas Cullinan’s novel of the same name, unfolds in a girls’ school in the state of Virginia in 1864. As the Civil War rages, The Miss Martha Farnsworth (Nicole Kidman) Seminary for Young Ladies has been sheltered from the outside world – until the day a wounded Union soldier is discovered nearby and taken in.

When Lost In Translation came out 13 years ago, I connected with the movie on many levels.Loneliness, boredom, opening your heart to love to a uber cool soundtrack. This movie looks a change of direction for Coppola and on paper, this looks a period drama romance, however, something does say this is a lot darker. A highly sexually-repressed environment as morals go out the window.

Does the movie title sound familiar? In 1971 Clint Eastwood starred in a version of the movie that was directed by Don Siegel, a movie regarded as the veteran actor’s rarely seen gem performances.

The Beguiled is set for 23rd June UK & Irish cinema release. The movie stars Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning, Emma Howard, Oona Laurence.
