Filmmaker Ari Aster, renowned for his chilling horror films such as “Hereditary” and “Midsommar”, ventures into uncharted territory with the modern Western thriller “Eddington” – a gripping tale that unfolds against the backdrop of the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Mexico. The movie combines biting satire with incisive social commentary, delving into how fear, deception, and power struggles can rip a tight-knit community apart.
The plot revolves around a tense confrontation between the sheriff and the mayor, resulting in increasingly intense disputes. The preview adopts a “doomscrolling” narrative approach, mirroring the constant flow of negative news that characterized the pandemic era. This technique allows viewers to empathize with the characters’ psychological strife and underscores a harmful behavior that continues to impact how we digest information in modern times.
The movie boasts an impressive ensemble of actors, including Joaquin Phoenix portraying Sheriff Cross and Pedro Pascal in the role of Mayor Garcia. Notable supporting cast members include Emma Stone, Austin Butler, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Amélie Hoeferle, Clifton Collins Jr., and William Belleau.
Eddington premieres at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and hits US theaters on July 18.
