MONA LISA AND THE BLOOD MOON Trailer: Ana Lily Amirpour Returns with a New Mind-Bending Thriller
As the Venice Film Festival is around the corner, one film that premiered at last year’s festival will finally get released next month. Writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night; The Bad Batch) returns with a new thriller that blurs the line between fantasy and reality. Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon is a sci-fi thriller set on the neon-lit streets of New Orleans with its share of unusual colorful characters and quiet, yet mind-blowing thrills that Amirpour is known for. Korean actress Jun Jong-seo, who broke out in Lee Chang-dong’s sensational Burning, makes her English-language debut as the titular character who is an escaped mental patient with a dangerous secret. It also stars Kate Hudson, Craig Robinson, Ed Skrein, and Even Whitten. Hereditary and Midsommar cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski serves as the film’s DP.
Here’s an official synopsis:
Kate Hudson and Jun Jong Seo star in this mind-bending thriller from visionary director Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night). When a struggling single mother (Hudson) befriends a mysterious mental institute escapee with supernatural powers (Jong Seo), she sees a lucrative opportunity to make some fast cash. But when they draw the attention of a detective (Craig Robinson), their luck starts to run out as the cops close in on their crime spree.
