FRANK & LOLA Trailer: Michael Shannon and Imogen Poots Star in Psychosexual Thriller
I had no idea Frank & Lola existed until this morning, but after watching this trailer, I'm hooked. Michael Shannon has been one of the most compelling actors working in the industry for years now, and Imogen Poots is an up-and-coming talent who most recently left a nice impression in Green Room, so the idea of the two of them starring together in a psychosexual thriller is pretty exciting. Writer/director Matthew Ross has crafted a charged atmosphere here, and the trailer is cut in such a way that makes it appear as if anything could happen at any second. Count me in.
Frank & Lola debuted earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, and it arrives in theaters on December 9, 2016.
Set in Las Vegas and Paris, two of the world’s most glamorous cities, FRANK & LOLA is a psychosexual noir romance about love and sex, obsession and betrayal, revenge and redemption. Matthew Ross’s debut feature stars Michael Shannon as Frank, an up-and-coming chef, and Imogen Poots as Lola, an aspiring fashion designer, who find one another at a point when each is at a defining moment in life. Their affair is sudden, passionate, and seemingly everything Frank has always wanted. But, his happiness proves short-lived when a man from Lola’s past, a past that is full of secrets, turns up on the scene, forcing Frank to question whether he can trust Lola—or himself.
