THE SUMMER BOOK
MAGICAL TRAILER WITH GLENN CLOSE
Trailer has been released for Charlie McDowell's movie adaptation of beloved Finnish classic book THE SUMMER BOOK by Tove Jannson. Released
50 years ago, it follows nine-year-old Sophia (Emily Matthews) who spends the summers at her family’s seasonal home on a tranquil isle in the Gulf of Finland, but this will be the first summer without her mother. Her father (Anders Danielsen Lie) remains numbed by grief, while her grandmother (Glenn Close) guides her on a giddy, winding path towards young adulthood. With a sense of infinite possibility and a tender regard for the wonders of the natural world, Sophia and her grandmother explore the terrain, celebrate midsommar, and test the limits of faith in the face of life’s many storms. It is out September 19th in select theatres in North America.
