Allocine has premiered the first poster for Liv Ullmann‘s Miss Julie starring Jessica Chastain, Colin Farrell and Samantha Morton.
Based on the play by August Strindberg, the film is set in 1874 at a count’s estate in Sweden, following a woman (Chastain) trying to escape an existence cramped by social mores who is suddenly drawn to a senior servant (Farrell).
The film doesn’t yet have a domestic distributor and it would make sense to predict it will play heavily in the fall film festival circuit, most likely at both Toronto and Venice, though IMDb does list a September 12 release for the film in Norway. I do have Chastain listed on the Best Actress board for the film, though pretty far down the line as I suspect she’ll be a much stronger draw for her work in J.C. Chandor‘s
