One of the break-out hits from this year’s Sundance Film Festival is An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn, the new film from The Greasy Strangler filmmaker Jim Hosking. While the film is awaiting a UK release, it has been given a Stateside street date as well as a first trailer, which you can see below.
Aubrey Plaza, Emile Hirsch, and Jemaine Clement are amongst the cast.
After getting fired by her scheming husband Shane Danger (Emile Hirsch) from his cappuccino shop, dissatisfied Lulu Danger (Aubrey Plaza) is stunned when a TV commercial for “An Evening With Beverly Luff Linn For One Magical Night Only” reveals a mysterious man from her past (Craig Robinson). When Shane and his bumbling cohorts steal the cash box from Lulu’s adopted vegan brother Adjay (Sam Dissanayake), specialist Colin (Jemaine Clement) enters the fray to retrieve the stolen funds. But Lulu seizes the opportunity to run off in search of her mystery man—and events only become stranger from there. This is a story of love, theft, athletic swimming, and a magical magical event.
We reviewed the film when it hit London back in the summer at the Sundance London film festival. You can read our full review at the end of the link and watch the brand new trailer in the player below. U.S. cinema-goers can see the film on October 19th.
