Haunting. Chilling. Hypnotic. One look at this trailer for THE MOUNTAIN will have you mesmerized.
1950’s America. The “golden age” of American male supremacy. Since his mother’s confinement to an institution, an introverted young man named Andy has lived in the shadow of his stoic father. A family acquaintance, Dr. Wallace Fiennes, employs Andy as a photographer to document an asylum tour advocating for his increasingly controversial and recently debunked lobotomy procedure. As the tour progresses and Andy witnesses the doctor’s career and life unravel, he begins to identify with the institutions’ patients. Arriving at a California mountain town, a growing center of the New Age movement, they encounter an unconventional French healer who requests a lobotomy for his own daughter. Along the way, Andy becomes enamored with a rebellious young woman named Susan.
Written and directed by Rick Alverson and co-written with Dustin Guy Defa and Colm O’Leary, THE MOUNTAIN stars Jeff Goldblum, Tye Sheridan, Hannah Gross, Denis Lavant and Udo Kier.
