Writer/director Alex Ross Perry has made a name for making films that bring audiences close — sometimes uncomfortably close — with the complicated characters in his films. “Listen Up, Philip” and “Queen Of Earth” zoomed in on the lives of its complex protagonists, and his upcoming “Golden Exits,” finds the filmmaker exploring the knots of a myriad of relationships.
Starring Emily Browning, Adam Horovitz, Mary-Louise Parker, Lily Rabe, Jason Schwartzman, Chloë Sevigny and Analeigh Tipton, the story follows a young woman from Australia whose arrival in Brooklyn rocks the foundation of those she meets. Here’s the official synopsis:
Nick has settled into a safe existence in a small pocket of Brooklyn, where he currently toils on an archival project for his father-in-law. Soon, 20-something Naomi arrives from Australia to assist Nick for the semester. She has no acquaintances in the city beyond a loose family connection to Buddy, a music producer who lives in the same neighborhood. For the few months she spends around Nick, Buddy, and their families, Naomi’s presence upsets the unpleasant balance holding these two households together.
“Golden Exits” opens on February 9th in New York at the Metrograph and on February 16th in select cities and on digital. Check out our exclusive, illustrated poster for the film below.
