Woody Allen is casting his net wide for his latest film, from the violent East Coast of America to its starlit West. Café Society premiered at Cannes this year to positive reviews (ours is here) and it seems the recent European jaunt has done wonders for Allen.
There’s a new trailer for the film out today, and a fancy new poster, and both show off the film’s leading trio of Jesse Eisneberg, Blake Lively and Kristen Stewart talking love, ambition and jazz music.
It doesn’t stray too far from Allen’s familiar territory, but let’s be honest we’re not expecting a slasher movie are we? Key to note in this trailer is Steve Carell, who looks to be having the time of his life.
Before the trailer, why not take a look at the new poster, eh?
Care for a synopsis?
Set in the 1930s, Woody Allen’s bittersweet romance CAFÉ SOCIETY follows Bronx-born Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg) to Hollywood, where he falls in love, and back to New York, where he is swept up in the vibrant world of high society nightclub life.
Centering on events in the lives of Bobby’s colourful Bronx family, the film is a glittering valentine to the movie stars, socialites, playboys, debutantes, politicians, and gangsters who epitomised the excitement and glamour of the age.
Poignant, and often hilarious, CAFÉ SOCIETY, a film with a novel’s sweep, takes us on a journey from pastel-clad dealmakers in plush Hollywood mansions, to the quarrels and tribulations of a humble Bronx family, to the rough-and-tumble violence of New York gangsters, to the sparkling surfaces and secret scandals of Manhattan high life.
Café Society opens in UK cinemas September 2nd
