STUDIO CANAL has released a new short trailer for DHEEPAN ahead of the film’s release this week. You can take a look at the trailer in the video player above.
From director Jacques Audiard, the winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival and the man who helmed THE PROPHET and the brilliant RUST AND BONE has also called the shots on DHEEPAN.
The film tells the powerful story of Dheepan, a Sri Lankan Tamil warrior who is forced to flee to France to escape the civil war, posing as a family with a woman and young girl he has never previously met.
Finding work as a caretaker of a housing block in the suburbs of Paris, Dheepan works to build a new life and home for his ‘wife’ and ‘daughter’, but the daily violence he confronts quickly reopens the violence from his past, and he is left fighting for their livelihood, and eventually their lives.
DHEEPAN will hit cinemas April 8th, 2016.
