Arriving at the cinema on April 18th, with 01 Distribution, Civil War, the new, powerful film by Alex Garland which, taking inspiration from real data, imagines a new, devastating American civil war. The director and the three protagonists Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny and Wagner Moura talk to us about it in an exclusive preview video.
The United States is torn apart by a new, cruel and merciless civil war. Washington is about to fall under siege by separatist troops. Before this happens, a photojournalist and a Reuters journalist decide to make a very dangerous car journey from New York to the capital for a final interview with the President of what remains of the USA, who will fall with the city and could be killed. They are joined by a veteran of old-fashioned journalism, and a very young aspiring photo journalist.
This is the scenario imagined by Alex Garland – the screenwriter and director of i Ex Machina, Annihilation And Men – for his new film, Civil War . A film that will arrive in Italian cinemas on April 18th, thanks to 01 Distribution, is very powerful. A film readable on multiple levels, capable of being a spectacular and adrenaline-filled action film as well as a sharp reflection on our present, and even more so on the role of journalism in the face of extreme polarizations and the many atrocities of the world around us.
I’ll tell you more about this truly unmissable film in this one video featurette that Comingsoon.it offers you in an exclusive previewthe same Garland and its three main protagonists: Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny And Wagner Moura.
If you wanted to better understand what kind of parallel world the events of Civil Warthere is this practice map spread by A24 (who produced the film and will distribute it in the USA) which precisely indicates the division that has torn America apart. On the one hand we have the loyalist states (the white ones), which still recognize the federal government which has at its head a highly contested President (in his third term…) who is about to be deposed; on the other, the blues of a new confederation that would never have been expected, the one that unites democratic California with republican Texas (because Garland does not want to make a partisan political speech, but a general one). Alongside, separatists and waiters, those of the Western Forces on one side, and the Florida Alliance on the other, who are not particularly active in the film.
If you would like to know even more about the film, and the language it uses, and the themes it addresses, we are ready Civil War review written by Federico Gironiwhich also does not contain any type of spoiler.
Finally, these are below a new official Italian trailer for Civil Warit’s a new poster of Garland’s film.
