Prior to its April VOD and Theatrical release, Ryan Goslings Lost River will bow at SXSW, where the actor-filmmaker will also be seen in conversation with beloved director Guillermo del Toro. Ahead of that, a new French trailer and a slate of clips from the film have debuted, highlighting its surreal, dreamy tone and Johnny Jewels atmospheric score midst the urban decay.
Lost River, heavily influenced by Goslings collaborators and filmmaking idols and featuring Barbara Steele, is a dark fairy tale about love, family and the fight for survival in the face of danger. In the virtually abandoned city of Lost River, Billy (Christina Hendricks), a single mother of two, is led into a macabre underworld in her quest to save her childhood home and hold her family together. Her teenage son Bones (Iain De Casestecker) discovers a mystery about the origins of Lost River that triggers his curiosity and sets into motion an unexpected journey that will test his limits and the limits of those he loves.
Lost River will see its U.S. Premiere at Austins SXSW on Saturday, March 14. On the 13th, the Austin Convention Center will host A Conversation with Ryan Gosling, the aforementioned live discussion with del Toro. The film itself is in NY & LA theaters and on VOD on April 10th. [The Film Stage]
