| Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain "A Most Violent Year" |
The opening night film has been announced! And it is a World Premiere!!!
J.C. Chandor's "A Most Violent Year" will have its world premiere on Thursday, November 6, 2014 as the Opening Night Gala of AFI FEST 2014 presented by Audi. Set in 1981, during one of the most crime-ridden winters in New York City’s history, the film follows the lives of Abel and Anna Morales (Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain) as they attempt to capitalize on the American Dream, while the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built.
AFIFest Director Jacqueline Lyanga raves, ”J.C. Chandor has put together a remarkable crime drama, which is also an immersive period piece and morality tale that resonates on an emotional level. Chandor is a talented director who takes risks with every film that he makes and "A Most Violent Year is no exception. It is a great film with which to open the festival and begin the audience’s eight-day journey through a landscape of extraordinary contemporary cinema.”
The film is written and directed by Academy Award® nominee J.C. Chandor and stars Oscar Isaac, Academy Award® nominees Jessica Chastain and Albert Brooks as well as David Oyelowo, Alessandro Nivola, Elyes Gabel and Catalina Sandino Moreno.
To attend the World Premiere and Opening Night Gala of A MOST VIOLENT YEAR with reserved seats, guests must purchase a festival package at the Star Patron or Marquee Patron level.
