After recently unveiling a title change, we’ve now got a new look at the next, highly-anticipated film from Olivier Assayas, Clouds of Sils Maria. A sure-fire bet for Cannes Film Festival, the drama brings together Juliette Binoche, Chloe Moretz, Kristen Stewart, and Johnny Flynn in a somewhat meta story of acting. We’ve now got the first teaser poster (thanks to HeyUGuys) and official synopsis, both of which can be seen below.
At the peak of her international career, Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche) is asked to perform in a revival of the play that made her famous twenty years ago. But back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young girl who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena.
She departs with her assistant (Kristen Stewart) to rehearse in Sils Maria; a remote region of the Alps. A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Chloë Grace Moretz) is to take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in essence, an unsettling reflection of herself.
Expect a late 2014 or early 2015 U.S. release via IFC Films for Sils Maria.
