Paul Dano, who became a popular actor for "Little Beauty in the Sunshine" and "Blood Is Coming", started his own directing work in the past two years.
"Wildlife", which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and later appeared in the Cannes Film Critics Week section, was nominated for the Golden Camera Award, an award for a directorial debut that shows the recognition of Paul Dano in the industry.
Co-starring Carey Mulligan (as Jeanette), Jack Gyllenhaal (as Jerry) and young actor Ed Oxenbord (as Joe), the film is based on the novel of the same name by Richard Ford in the 1990s, which tells the story of a teenager who gradually witnesses a crisis in his parents' marriage after the family moves to Montana.
The trailer, which begins with mother and son driving through a forest on fire, not only refers to her husband Jerry's temporary firefighter job, but also hints at a marital crisis or is on the verge of collapse.
The 2:35-second trailer features ample footage of his son Joe's role in the crisis, where he is seen by his mother as a friend rather than a child, so there is an equal conversation, and he also watches as his parents begin to suspect each other.
When Jeanette, the mother, tells her son that she feels her husband has another woman outside, Joe instinctively defends her father and says no, while Jeanette asks, "How do you know what men are thinking?" Father Jerry asked Joe privately, "Has your mother ever done anything she didn't want to tell me?" ”
The trailer's most stunning scene, jeanette dancing at home in a dress, explains to Joe: "Sometimes it's good to see the other side of your parents and how they looked before they became parents. ”
The final scene left for the viewer evokes a lot of reverie: everyone argues before the fire, followed by Jeanette and Jerry facing the camera and seemingly ready to take a family portrait, and there is no Joe in the chair in the middle.
Kerry Mulligan's role this time deviated from the young woman she had previously excelled at, and the Guardian praised her for getting one of the best roles of her career and contributing one of the best performances.
She faces the shattering of the American dream, the family crisis of middle-class and middle-aged people, and creates a mature, complex, rational and emotional female image.
Some media believe that if the film's distributor, IFC Films, can be vigorously promoted, Mulligan will become a strong contender for the Oscar for Best Actress.
The film currently has a freshness rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and will be released in a smaller area in North America on October 19.
