About

Beau is afraid – of life, of the world, and most of all of his mother. On his way to a family visit, he is drawn into an unexpected spiral of absurd events he could never have imagined in his darkest dreams. On a frantic journey of humour, scares and adventure, the lonely oddball must come to terms with his fears and finally take his life into his own hands. Film visionary Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar) joins forces with acting chameleon Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) to deliver an extraordinarily immersive cinematic experience that breaks down barriers of genre and audience expectations.
