With only two films under his belt, Ari Aster has already proven to be one of the more intriguing filmmakers working today. Following the wildly offbeat horror dramas, "Hereditary" and "Midsommar", Aster is due back with "Beau is Afraid". And while the trailer seems to reveal that the writer/director has not strayed far from his comfort zone, this film also seems to move in a different direction than expected. Joaquin Phoenix stars as the title character, Beau Wassermann who is just trying to get to his mother after she unexpectedly passes away, leading to a surreal journey that has him looking back on his life, filled with disturbing imagery and dark humor. There is an impressive supporting cast that includes Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Parker Posey and Patti LuPone.
"Beau is Afraid" is due in US theaters on April 21, 2023
