Here is the first teaser for Michael Winterbottom’s Face of an Angel starring Kate Beckinsale, Daniel Bruhl and Cara Delevingne. The film is inspired by Barbie Latza Nadeau’s book “Angel Face: Sex, Murder and the Inside Story of Amanda Knox” and according to Variety, “uses a fictional adaptation of the tragic story of the 2007 murder case in Umbria, Italy, and ensuing media circus as a springboard for a wider investigation of society’s fascination with violence.”
At this time there isn’t a
release date as the film is currently being shopped around the European Market
at the Berlin Film Festival.
Face of an Angel Full Synopsis:
The murder of a British student
in Tuscany leads to the trial and conviction of her American flat mate and
Italian boyfriend in controversial circumstances.
The public interest around the
case attracts once successful, but now struggling filmmaker Thomas (Bruhl), to
be commissioned to write a film, “The Face of an Angel,” based on a book by
Simone Ford (Beckinsale), an American journalist who covered the case. From
Rome they head to Siena to research the film.
Thomas has also recently
separated from his wife in a bitter divorce and left his 9-year-old daughter in
Los Angeles. As his life unravels, he becomes increasingly disturbed by the
dark medieval atmosphere surrounding the case and begins to fall into his own
personal hell.
Just as Thomas is about to hit
rock bottom, he meets British student Melanie (Delevingne), with whom he begins
an innocent relationship. This is a beautiful, unrequited love where Melanie
provides solace to him and acts as a guide to his own heart. Thomas starts to
question what is more important to him, solving an unsolvable crime and writing
the film, or returning back to the daughter he has left behind.
