The announcement of the film:
Emotional family history
The film takes place in northern England and tells the story of a man played by Sean Bean, who breaks out of his suburban life, to visit his alienated brother (Daniel Day-Lewis). This lives as a hermit in the forest. The brothers are connected by a complicated and painful common past that has a significant impact on their relationship. In addition to Day-Lewis and Bean, Samantha Morton and Samuel Bottomley belong to the ensemble.
“Anemone” celebrates its world premiere in autumn at the New York Film Festival. A limited cinema evaluation in the USA is then planned from October 3 before the film will be released nationwide on October 10th.
Resignation from resignation
In 2017, Daniel Day-Lewis made his previous film with “Phantom Thread” and then announced his withdrawal from the acting. At the time, an official explanation said that it was a private decision that he did not want to talk about. With three Oscars for the best leading role, Day-Lewis is one of the most important actors in his generation.
