The Playlist have posted three pictures from yet another film playing at the Toronto International Film Festival next month – the family drama Beginners.

Starring Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer, it’s the tale of a dying man’s confession to his son that he’s been in the closet for all his life, and the emotional repercussions which follow this revelation.

It’s good to see McGregor back in an indie-type role again after a slew of forgettable big-budget studio fodder, and there’s the added bonus of Mélanie Laurent (last seen trying to evade those dastardly Nazis in Inglourious Basterds) playing his love interest.

I was a little underwhelmed by director Mike Mill’s debut feature Thumbsucker, but his shorts (particularly Paperboys) are fantastic and anyone who has seen his promos for the likes of Air and Moby will know that this guy will deliver something unique here.
