Frank & Lola Trailer

Matthew RossFrank & Lola (2016) movie trailer stars Imogen Poots, Michael Shannon, Justin Long, Rosanna Arquette, and Michael Nyqvist. Frank & Lola‘s plot synopsis: “Set in Las Vegas and Paris, two of the world’s most glamorous cities, Frank & Lola is a psychosexual noir romance about love and sex, obsession and betrayal, revenge and redemption. Matthew Ross’s debut feature stars Michael Shannon as Frank, an up-and-coming chef, and Imogen Poots as Lola, an aspiring fashion designer, who find one another at a point when each is at a defining moment in life. Their affair is sudden, passionate, and seemingly everything Frank has always wanted. But, his happiness proves short-lived when a man from Lola’s past, a past that is full of secrets, turns up on the scene, forcing Frank to question whether he can trust Lola—or himself.”

Frank and Lola offer each other many surprises during the course of their relationship. This trailer highlighted many of them (I assume) but I hope the best reveals were kept for the film. Based on the trailer, the film goes from a romance film to a thriller in the blink of an eye.

FilmBook writer Reggie Peralta reviewed Frank & Lola at the 2016 San Francisco International Film Festival. He had this to say about the film:

Shannon shines as Frank, who is easily one of cinema’s most inscrutable and indomitable characters since Lee Marvin’s Walker of Point Blank fame, and the devious Nyqvist and the distressed Poots excellently complement his character.

Frank & Lola also stars Suteara Vaughn, Alex Lombard, Emmanuelle Devos, David Atrakchi, Amy Argyle, Joel Virgel, Maynor Alvarado, Elisha Yaffe, and Carlos Moreno Jr.
