Easily, hands down, the best movie I saw at TIFF this year, and already with a place reserved on my Best Of 2013, Derek Cianfrance's "The Place Beyond The Pines" is, as I wrote in my review, "a brilliant, towering picture." And yes, that quote has been surprisingly pulled for the trailer. And yes, this latest reunion between "Blue Valentine" helmer Cianfrance and Ryan Gosling is a knockout.
The first trailer for the movie is here, and don't be worried, there are no plot spoilers contained within. Instead, it's a perfectly evocative look at the story which centers on Gosling's lead Luke, who learns he's a single father and takes to bank robbing to support his child in what is the start of a drama that spans decades and changes the course of two families. It's an epic saga, the kind they don't really make anymore, and it's a terrific accomplishment boasting a solid supporting group of players, including Bradley Cooper (giving another great turn), Eva Mendes, Ben Mendelsohn, Ray Liotta, Dane DeHaan and more.
"The Place Beyond The Pines" hits theaters on March 29, 2013. Watch below.
Awesome! I've been anticipating Cianfrance and Goslings' next collaborative feature. This film seems like a ferocious yet subtle narrative similar to Winding Refn's previous cinematic entries, specifically Drive and Pusher II. Although this film evokes a much more tragic sense of moral urgency.
Excited!
So was the film anywhere near this good? Because this trailer is AWESOME, but I haven't heard any exceptional reviews of it.
A terrific looking trailer. Its a shame the director dragged this film out for a 2013 release and not 2012 where it could compete for the Oscars. It looks that good!
Looks great, what's the name of the last song they use in this trailer?
looks fucking awesome
Looks stellar
One of my favorites at TIFF as well. Can't wait for people to see this one.
I remember u raving about this when TIFF was going down. SOO sick you guys are quoted CONGRATZ to the entire PLAYLIST family. Cant wait to see this. Gosling looks like in Top Form & Cooper as well, also surprisingly Mendes looks above her low averag (which has to be in part of our director/writer) Great posting!
Wow, this looks amazing. Very cool that you guys are quoted in the trailer.
Fuck yeah I've been waiting for this, looks awesome. You guys got multiple critics quotes too. Also are you planning a most anticipated feature for 2013? I'd read that, just saying…
Feels like Drive combined with We Own the Night. Probably because of Gosling and Mendes…
Love everything but fugly and lacking talent Mendes!
Saw it at TIFF, GREAT first half, second half was abysmal though.
That look really good! Can't wait!
Love the use of SUICIDE in this.
