EVERYBODY KNOWS Trailer
Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem stir up intrigue and romance in Everybody Knows, though the trailer cleverly gives little away.
This dramatic mystery film follows Laura (Cruz) upon her return to Spain from Argentina for her sister’s wedding, accompanied by her husband (Ricardo Darín) and two daughters. Enter Paco (Bardem), apparently a former lover of Laura’s and still a friend to the family, now settled down with a family of his own. During the wedding festivities, one of the girls (it’s not totally clear from the trailer, but we assume it’s one of Laura’s daughters) goes missing, and everyone is a suspect. How well does a family know each other?
Despite allowing too much information to slip out (something I particularly like about the trailers for this film), Everybody Knows or Todos lo Saben in the original Spanish, makes promises of intense drama and lots of sexual tension. If you watched Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem square off in Vicky Christina Barcelona, you know that the chemistry between the two of them is, historically, dynamite.
Since this is a follow up to director Asghar Farhadi’s Oscar-winning The Salesman (he also previously picked up an Oscar for A Separation), the pressure is on Farhadi to deliver, and as the magic eight ball says, outlook good.
Everybody Knows is directed by Asghar Farhadi and stars Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem, and Ricardo Darín. It will be released in the USA on the 8th of February 2019 and the UK on the 8th of March 2019. Further release date info can be found here.
