A trailer for the Sundance-award winning coming-of-age psychological thriller The Partisan has been released and can be seen below. The film stars one of my favorite actors Vincent Cassel (The Crimson Rivers, Brotherhood of the Wolf) and Jeremy Chabriel.
The Partisan‘s synopsis reads:
On the edge of a crumbling city, 11-year-old Alexander (Jeremy Chabriel) lives in a sequestered commune alongside other children, their mothers, and charismatic leader, Gregori (Vincent Cassel). Gregori teaches the children how to raise livestock, grow vegetables, work as a community – and how to kill. With the birth of a new baby brother weighing on his mind, Alexander begins to question Gregori’s overpowering influence on the children and their training to become assassins. Threatened by his increasing unwillingness to fall in line, Gregori’s behavior turns erratic and adversarial toward the child he once considered a son. With the two set dangerously at odds and the commune’s way of life disintegrating, the residents fear a violent resolution is at hand in this Sundance award-winning thriller.
The Partisan is directed by Ariel Kleiman. Well Go USA Entertainment will release PARTISAN in select theaters and On Demand on Friday, October 2, 2015
