Trailer For Winterbottom's Trishna

Freida Pinto takes up Sturdy in IndiaContinuing his pursuit to do strange and interesting things with Thomas Sturdy books, here is a trailer for Michael Winterbottom's Trishna, which transposes Tess from the d'Urbervilles to modern-day India. Following his reasonably straight adaptation of Jude the Obscure, and also the Claim, which switched The Mayor of Casterbridge right into a Western, Trishna stars Freida Pinto because the titular primitive creature from the heath (or its Rajasthan equivalent), who will get into relationship problems with Riz Ahmed's Jay Singh. Trishna goes to dedicate yourself him after any sort of accident destroys her father's jeep (it is a equine within the book) however the pair's love is complicated through the clash between Trishna's rural roots and also the urbanity and education that Jay signifies. This is the official plot summary a minimum of, which does not cover Tess' rape and also the extended aftermath which forms the core of Hardy's novel. There is no trace of this within the trailer either, which seems to visit the star-cross'd enthusiasts route. Jay would appear to become Angel Clare, and it is unclear if there's an Alec d'Urberville whatsoever, but Hardy's theme of the beautiful traditional world versus the evils of modernity certainly appears to become front and center. The dreamy soundtrack, that it's as though you will see much dancing, is as simple as Shigeru Umebayashi, with original tunes by Amit Trivedi, and Trishna is going to be seeking distribution in the Toronto Worldwide Film Festival, where it premieres on September 9.
