I'll admit, the first few seconds of this Trailer for THE BEGUILED, writer/director Sofia Coppola's latest, had me bored stiff. Another well draped period film that entails several women whose one person is to claim the one man in town (played by Colin Farrell)? No, thank you.
But wait, there seems to be so much more to this decadent drama, which also stars Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning and Kirsten Dunst. These women are not your average damsels in distress found in too many period dramas. They're savvy, seductive, and completely in control.
Take a look at the teaser trailer:
