‘Her Smell’ Starring Elisabeth Moss Debuts a New Clip

Emmy Award winner Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale) stars in this new video clip from Her Smell. The drama’s set to premiere on September 9, 2018 at the Toronto International Film Festival followed by screenings at the New York Film Festival.

Her Smell was written and directed by Alex Ross Perry (writer, Christopher Robin). In addition to Elisabeth Moss, the cast includes Cara Delevingne, Dan Stevens, Amber Heard, Agyness Deyn, Gayle Rankin, Ashley Benson, Dylan Gelula, Virginia Madsen, and Eric Stoltz.

Writer/director Alex Ross Perry, Matthew Perniciaro, Michael Sherman, Adam Piotrowicz, and Elisabeth Moss produced, with Christos V. Konstantakopoulos serving as an executive producer. The behind the scenes team includes director of photography Sean Price Williams, editor Robert Greene, production designer Fletcher Chancey, and costume designer Amanda Ford, with music by Keegan DeWitt.

The Plot: Becky Something (Elisabeth Moss) is a ’90s punk rock superstar who once filled arenas with her grungy all-female trio Something She. Now she plays smaller venues while grappling with motherhood, exhausted band mates, nervous record company executives, and a new generation of rising talent eager to usurp her stardom. When Becky’s chaos and excesses derail a recording session and national tour, she finds herself shunned, isolated and alone. Forced to get sober, temper her demons, and reckon with the past, she retreats from the spotlight and tries to recapture the creative inspiration that led her band to success.

Her Smell examines the grit, grace and gravitas of an unforgettable fictional rock star crashing down to earth into the harsh realities of mid-life. With his incendiary and deeply humane fifth feature, writer-director Alex Ross Perry (Listen Up Philip, Golden Exits) pumps up the volume and shines a light on the terrifying moment when superstardom wanes – and quiet becomes the new loud.
