A24’s dramatic film A Most Violent Year will be opening in limited release in New York and Los Angeles on December 31, 2014 followed by a wider release in January 2015. The film is directed by All is Lost‘s J.C. Chandor and stars Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty), Oscar Isaac, and Albert Brooks.
The Plot:
Set during the winter of 1981 — statistically one of the most crime-ridden of New York City’s history — A Most Violent Year is a drama following the lives of an immigrant and his family as they attempt to capitalize on the American Dream, while the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built.
