27th Black Nights Film Festival
Despite what began as a shocking affair, then 36-year-old Gracie (Julianne Moore) and 13-year-old Joe (Charles Melton) now lead a seemingly picture-perfect suburban life some 20 years later. Their domestic bliss is disrupted when Elizabeth (Natalie Portman), a famous actress, arrives in their tight-knit community to research her upcoming role as Gracie. As Elizabeth ingratiates herself into the everyday lives of Gracie and Joe, the uncomfortable facts of their scandal unfurl, causing long-dormant emotions to resurface.
In “May December”, director Todd Haynes (“Safe”, “Carol”) explores one of the great talents of the human species: our colossal refusal to look at ourselves.
The film premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
