The theatrical trailer for The Girl With The Needle has dropped. It is the next major release from MUBI, which has become a force to be reckoned with recent releases like Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance and Andrea Arnold’s Bird, both excellent films. The film tells the harrowing story of a woman struggling to survive in the WWI era in Denmark. A factory worker who loses everything while pregnant and abandoned, she takes a job with a woman running an adoption agency. For the rest, you need to experience the film.
Here is the trailer for The Girl With The Needle:
The film premiered in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and is the official Danish entry for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards. It stars Vic Carmen Sonne in an unflinching performance, expertly directed by Magnus von Horn, with stark black-and-white cinematography by Michał Dymek PSC and a riveting score by Frederikke Hoffmeier (Puce Mary).
The Girl with The Needle opens in theaters on December 6th.
