Powerful Trailer for ‘Detachment’ Starring Adrien Brody, Christina Hendricks, Bryan & More

By Richard Lennox on | From filmoria.co.uk

Adrien Brody looks to be on fine acting form in this first official trailer for Detachment, the new film from director Tony Kaye (American History X). The trailer looks very interesting, showing the film as multilayered and with oodles of emotion (helped along by the over the top emo guitar soundtrack). Detachment takes place during three weeks at a high school, as seen through the eyes of substitute teacher Henry Barthes (Adrien Brody). The film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, where it received some glowing reviews. A wealth of fine acting talent also appears in the film, including Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Tim Blake Nelson, William Petersen, Blythe Danner, James Caan, Marcia Gay Harden, and Lucy Liu. Detachment opens in selected theatres in the USA from 16 March (1st February France). There’s no news of a UK release date as yet. Here’s the official synopsis from Tribeca Films:

Detachment Official Synopsis / Plot Summary

In Director Tony Kaye’s Detachment, Adrien Brody stars as Henry Barthes, an educator with a true talent to connect with his students. Yet Henry has chosen to bury his gift. By spending his days as a substitute teacher, he conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never staying anywhere long enough to form an attachment to either students or colleagues. When a new assignment places him at a public school where a frustrated, burned-out administration has created an apathetic student body, Henry soon becomes a role model to the disaffected youth. In finding an unlikely emotional connection to the students, teachers, and a runaway teen he takes in from the streets, Henry realizes that he’s not alone in his life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world.
