What a strange, yet intriguing trailer this is.
I’m wishing that this red band trailer for Danny Boyle‘s TRANCE would have come out first instead of the other one. The good thing is that even if it shows you a million bits of scenes from the film, you still don’t know what you are seeing. All I know is there’s a piece of art that James McAvoy has that Vincent Cassel wants. He wants it badly enough that he uses a hypnotherapist (Rosario Dawson) to obtain the information. Instead, it goes to this entirely different place bordering on sanity and blurring reality.
It is a little gory. So if you aren’t into blood or heads getting blown off, then you may want to skip this one. Trust me, you aren’t even close to prepared for the end of this thing. Can’t wait to see it.
Synopsis: Fine art auctioneer Simon (McAvoy), in league with a gang led by underworld boss Franck (Cassel), plots the audacious theft of a masterpiece by Goya from a major public auction. When Simon double-crosses the gang during the robbery, Franck retaliates violently and knocks him unconscious. In the aftermath of the heist, Simon sticks stubbornly – and perhaps shrewdly – to his claim that the violent trauma has left him with no memory of where he stashed the artwork. Unable to coerce the painting’s location from Simon, Franck and his associates reluctantly join forces with a charismatic hypnotherapist (Dawson) in a bid to get him to talk. But as they journey deeper into Simon’s jumbled psyche the boundaries between reality and hypnotic suggestion begin to blur and the stakes rise faster and far more dangerously than any of the players could have anticipated.
TRANCE will hit theaters in limited release on April 5, 2013.
