A24’s offering up this behind the scenes look at the dramatic thriller A Most Violent Year from writer/director J.C. Chandor. Cast members Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, and David Oyelowo, as well as filmmaker Chandor, discuss the film in this short featurette in support of the movie’s upcoming December 31, 2014 release.
The Plot:
A Most Violent Year is a searing crime drama set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically the most dangerous year in the city’s history. This gripping story plays out within a maze of rampant political and industry corruption plaguing the streets of a city in decay.
J.C. Chandor’s third feature examines one immigrant’s determined climb up a morally crooked ladder, where simmering rivalries and unprovoked attacks threaten his business, family, and – above all – his own unwavering belief in the righteousness of his path.
