Moving Trailer for MEMORY Starring Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard in What Critics Are Calling Career-Defining Roles

A moving trailer has been released for the dramatic film Memory, from writer and director Michel Franco (April’s Daughter, New Order, Sundown). The film stars Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain as a single mother and social worker named Sylvia. Emmy-nominee Peter Sarsgaard plays a man who is suffering from early onset dementia, who can’t remember the life he is living day to day.

The film also stars Merritt Wever as Sylvia’s younger sister, Brooke Timber as daughter Anna, Jessica Harper as Sylvia’s estranged mother, Josh Charles as Saul’s protective brother and Elsie Fisher as his daughter.

The film’s synopsis reads:

“Sylvia is a social worker who leads a simple and structured life. This is blown open when Saul follows her home from their high school reunion. Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past.”

This looks like it’s going to be an incredibly moving film with breathtaking performances from the starring actors. Check out the trailer below, and watch Memory on December 22nd in New York and Los Angeles, before a nationwide rollout on January 5th.
