[Atlasphere] Vadim Perelman: The Life Before Her Eyes (Trailer)


Recommended Posts

Planned Atlas Shrugged movie director Vadim Perelman (who also wrote and directed House of Sand and Fog) has a new movie coming out in April: The Life Before Her Eyes, starring Uma Thurman.

From the summary provided at Apple movies:

Based on the best-selling novel by Laura Kasischke, Life Before Her Eyes is a dramatic thriller about Diana (Oscar-nominee Uma Thurman), a suburban wife and mother who begins to question her seemingly perfect life—and perhaps her sanity—on the 15th anniversary of a tragic high school shooting that took the life of her best friend. In flashbacks, Diana is a vibrant high schooler (Evan Rachel Wood of THIRTEEN and THE UPSIDE OF ANGER) who, with her shy best friend Maureen, plot typical teenage strategies—cutting class, fantasizing about boys—and vow to leave their sleepy suburb at the first opportunity. The older Diana, however, is haunted by the increasingly strained relationship she had with Maureen as day of the school shooting approached. These memories disrupt the idyllic life she’s now leading with her professor husband Paul and their young daughter Emma. As older Diana’s life begins to unravel and younger Diana gets closer and closer to the fatal day, a deeper mystery slowly unravels.

Judging from the trailer, it looks like the movie will be dark, intense, and stylized — much like House of Sand and Fog.
