Alfonso Cuaron’s Disclaimer TRAILER: Cate Blanchett Becomes Main Character Of A Story Threatening To Reveal Her Secrets

by

As a dedicated cinephile with a penchant for gripping narratives and exceptional performances, I eagerly anticipate Alfonso Cuaron’s return to the director’s chair with “Disclaimer”. With Cate Blanchett at the helm as Catherine Ravenscroft, this series promises an intriguing blend of suspense, mystery, and personal introspection.

Renowned director Alfonso Cuaron is back at the helm for the highly anticipated Apple TV series titled “Disclaimer”. Starring none other than Cate Blanchett as the main character, this thrilling show is adapted from the critically acclaimed novel by Renee Knight with the same name.

Blanchett takes on the role of Catherine Ravenscroft, a diligent reporter aiming to establish a stellar professional standing by exposing the wrongdoings among her colleagues.

Additionally to Cate Blanchett, the production has also enlisted esteemed actors like Kevin Kline, Oscar-nominated Sacha Baron Cohen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Lesley Manville, Louis Partridge, Leila George, and Hoyeon for their roles.

As the plot summary suggests, the narrative centers around a journalist who has made a name for herself by exposing the wrongdoings of others. However, things take an unexpected turn when she receives an anonymous novel, only to discover that she is now the protagonist in a story that lays bare her most hidden secrets, causing chaos in her life.

As Cuaron delves into uncovering the writer of the book, she unwittingly unearths her own past, a discovery that in turn influences not only her life but also those of her husband, portrayed by Baron Cohen, and her son, Smit-McPhee.

Upon the trailer’s unfolding, I find myself immersed in the scene where Blanchett shares a tranquil moment with her spouse, just before she’s honored as the best journalist. Swiftly, the narrative shifts, depicting my character’s contentment transforming into an intense act of setting fire to a book, all while the piercing sound of the fire alarm echoes around us.

In his voiceover, Kilne states in the background, “They say that destiny knocks at the door. That is not true. Destiny doesn’t knock on any door. It crashes in without permission and grabs you mercilessly by your soul.” 

In the trailer, the actor declares, “It’s crucial that people understand the true nature of Catherine Ravenscroft. They must learn the truth about her.

In terms of the showrunner, Alfonso Cuarón is set to re-enter the film industry after a gap of six years since his previous work, Roma, that premiered in 2018.

Disclaimer will be a limited seven-episode series set to hit the screens on October 11.
