After a chance encounter with a man forgotten from his youth, Fred literally and metaphorically journeys into his past.
The Conspiracy director Christopher MacBride returns with the mystery The Education of Frederick Fitzell, which is hitting Cannes from Protagonist Pictures.
Bloody has the first look at the film starring Dylan O’Brien (“Teen Wolf”, Maze Runner), Maika Monroe (The Guest, It Follows, Villians), and Emory Cohen (“The OA”, Lords of Chaos).
In the film, Fred (O’Brien) is not a detective, a secret agent or a philosopher. He’s a normal guy approaching 30 and going through an existential crisis as he finds himself on the precipice of full-blown adulthood. Should Fred commit to his long-term girlfriend? Should he take a corporate job to pay the bills and let go of his dream to become an artist?”
When a forgotten man from his youth surfaces out of the blue, Fred literally and metaphorically journeys into his past. He slowly begins to unravel a long-hidden mystery about a missing girl, a drug called Mercury and a terrifying creature that has now followed him into adulthood…”
As past, present and future begin to intersect and parallel each other, Fred explores all the possible lives he could lead. Which one will he choose?”
