A new trailer is out from Les Films Séville for Atom Egoyan’s upcoming film
Remember.
Remember, one of this blog's
most anticipated titles of 2015, reunites Egoyan with
Canada’s finest actor, Christopher Plummer, after working together on 2002’s
Ararat. This new revenge thriller sees
Plummer on a quest to settle the past and avenge his family against the Nazi
who killed . Egoyan’s been a bit off his game lately with
Devil’s Knot and
The Captive (the latter of which even I didn’t see), but
Remember certainly looks promising. The
film was recently cited in an exclusive scoop by
Screen
as one of the potential films by Canadian directors that the Toronto
International Film Festival is circling for opening night. Other rumours include Deepa
Mehta’s
Beeba Boys, Jean-Marc Vallée’s
Demolition and Paul Gross’s
Hyena Road. Is Egoyan the one to kick
off TIFF’s 40
th birthday party?
Synopsis: Remember is the contemporary story of
Zev, (Academy Award® Winner Christopher Plummer), who discovers that the
Nazi guard who murdered his family some 70 years ago is living in America under
an assumed identity. Despite the obvious challenges, Zev sets out on a
mission to deliver long-delayed justice with his own trembling hand. What
follows is a remarkable cross-continent road-trip with surprising consequences.
Starring: Christopher Plummer, Dean Norris, Martin Landau, Sofia Wells, Henry Czerny, Bruno Ganz
Remember will be
released in Canada by eOne Films and Les Films Séville in 2015
