BEAU IS AFRAID

From writer-director Ari Aster (HEREDITARY, MIDSOMMAR) comes a delirious journey into the unknown: the story of a man (Joaquin Phoenix) who sets out to visit his mother (Patti LuPone) and discovers a world of malevolent forces and unseen eyes tracking his every move. Dense with meaning and aimed squarely at confronting the emotional chaos and collective uncertainty of our present day, BEAU IS AFRAID follows one man's Oedipal odyssey through the depths of the end of history, finding horror and humor at every turn.
