Joaquin Phoenix stars in Beau Is Afraid
A24
Beau Is Afraid is the new highly-anticipated Ari Aster film starring Joaquin Phoenix. A24 — the studio behind Everything, Everywhere All At Once and The Whale — released the bizarre trailer Tuesday. Aster is the same mind behind horror films Midsommar and Hereditary, and Beau Is Afraid will be the director’s third production.
The trailer follows Beau, played by Joaquin Phoenix, as he slowly unravels. His anxiety and paranoia plague him as he sets out on a journey to get home to his mother. Audiences see Beau travel through both time and mixed-media landscapes.
Beau Is Afraid is set to hit theaters Apr 21, 2023.
