Here’s the latest trailer for the film that has already been named by many as the front runner in this year’s Oscar race!
Nate Parker’s The Birth of a Nation tells the story of Nat Turner’s slave rebellion. They went crazy about it at Sundance and you’ll be able to judge it for yourself in October.
I will be the first to admit that it feels strange to admit that I’m actually looking forward to a movie featuring Shia LaBeouf.
(You ever notice how I always say stuff like that, despite the fact that Lawless wasn’t terrible and I enjoyed Fury about as much as I can enjoy any movie about war. Despite the fact that he’s actually appeared in a lot of decent films, I will always think of Shia as being the whiny kid from The Battle of Shaker Heights. That is the revolting power of Shia LaBeouf…)
However, I am very much looking forward to American Honey!
And you know why?
Because it’s the latest film from Andrea Arnold, who previously directed the absolutely exquisite Fish Tank. Fish Tank is one of those films that I watch and I just see myself, who I’ve been and who I could have become. It’s an amazing film.
Will American Honey be just as amazing?
I hope so! Check out the trailer below:
