The first trailer for
Christine has finally landed online. Based on true events, director Antonio Campos’
intimate and insightful portrait of a woman on the brink of collapse is
grounded by Rebecca Hall’s flawless performance as Christine Chubbuck.
Campos’ third feature
film, Christine, is the story of a woman who finds herself caught in the
crosshairs of a spiraling personal life and career crisis. Always the
smartest person in the room at her local Sarasota, Florida news station, Christine
feels like she is destined for bigger things and is relentless in her pursuit
of an on-air position in a larger market. As an aspiring newswoman with
an eye for nuance and an interest in social justice, she finds herself constantly
butting heads with her boss (Tracy Letts), who pushes for juicier stories that
will drive up ratings. Plagued by self-doubt and a tumultuous home life,
Christine’s diminishing hope begins to rise when an on-air co-worker (Michael
C. Hall) initiates a friendship which ultimately becomes yet another unrequited
love. Disillusioned as her world continues to close in on her, Christine
takes a dark and surprising turn.
Opening in theaters
on October 14, Christine also stars Maria Dizzia, Timothy Simons and J.
Smith-Cameron.
