"There's nothing harder to find than lost love." Gravitas Ventures has debuted an official trailer for a British comedy called The Man in the Hat, which already opened in the fall in the UK last year. Now arriving in the US this May. The Man in the Hat takes us on a journey through France in a Fiat 500 accompanied by a framed photograph of an unknown woman. He is pursued by five angry men in a Citroën Dyane... Why are they chasing him? And how can he shake them off? Only way to find out is to watch! Ciarán Hinds stars as "The Man In The Hat", joined by Stephen Dillane, Maïwenn, Sasha Hails, Muna Otaru, Brigitte Roüan, Xavier Laurent, & Claire Tran as "The Storyteller". This looks adorable! And gorgeous, all that French countryside. Oh my. I also like that this trailer is dialogue free, selling the story with all the imagery.

Ron Perlman would have us believe that war never changes, but the movies about it certainly have. The last 15 years have brought no shortage of films about the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan (for obvious reasons), but World War II continues to fascinate filmmakers most of all. That includes Christopher Nolan, whose recent hit “Dunkirk” manages to bring something new to a genre that constantly feels at risk of becoming old hat.
Read More‘Dunkirk’ Is Too Loud For Some Viewers, But Christopher Nolan Says That’s the Way He Likes It
And while those two conflicts have dominated the genre of late, everything from the Civil War to the Battle of Red Cliffs has found powerful expression onscreen. Kathryn Bigelow’s “The Hurt Locker” tells us that “war is a drug,” and the films below suggest that movies about war are just as addictive — maybe even more so.

This beautifully photographed film is a slow burner about two sisters who come into traumatic conflict with two renegade Union soldiers
Daniel Barber is the British film-maker who directed the urban thriller Harry Brown in 2009, with Michael Caine as a pensioner who takes on local thugs. His latest film (from 2014, getting a belated UK release) is a siege drama set towards the bitter end of the American civil war, written for the screen by the smart first-timer Julia Hart. Brit Marling and Hailee Steinfeld play two sisters in the south, Augusta and Louise, whose menfolk have all been killed; they live with their slave, Mad – a very good performance from Muna Otaru. These women are to come into traumatic conflict with two renegade Union soldiers, Moses (Sam Worthington) and Henry (Kyle Soller), crazed and bored with the horror of war. This is an intriguing slow burner of a film, whose pace sometimes decelerates to an almost Bergmanesque adagio: it’s beautifully photographed by the German cinematographer Martin Ruhe. However, I felt it didn’t come fully to dramatic life, and nothing in it quite lived up to its fascinating and shocking opening. Its two most charismatic performers, Otaru and Steinfeld, are the ones with the least to do. A serious and absorbing piece of work, nonetheless.

Read More: The 13 Most Criminally Overlooked Indies and Foreign Films of 2015 Daniel Barber's feminist Western "The Keeping Room" was a critically acclaimed drama that just couldn't find its legs at the box office when it was released in select theaters last September. And yet, thanks to some appearances on end-of-the-year compilation lists and this excellent new Mondo poster, it seems like "The Keeping Room" might just get a second chance at discovery for audiences looking for a worthy surprise. Set in the rural South of 1865, the drama takes place at the end of Civil War on a remote farm run by three women: Augusta (Brit Marling), her teenage sister Louise (Hailee Steinfeld) and their slave Mad (Muna Otaru). As all the men in their lives vanished long ago on the battlefield, the women exist in a static world, but their lives soon change when two soldiers discover their home...

During the last days of the War Between the States, Augusta (Brit Marling, I Origins, Another Earth) and her younger sister Louise (Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit), along with the former slave Mad (Muna Otaru), are etching out a meager existence in the deep South, surviving one day at a time on sparse vegetables they grow in a barren garden, and little meat. Their time is spent working all day, or longing for the days of old when they wore fine dresses and men came calling.

In The Keeping Room, we witness the true feature film arrival of actress Muna Otaru – and it is a powerful, seismic experience. The movie is a stinging, desolate look at the American Civil War from the perspective of three women, struggling to survive together on a farm in the south. Far from being a period drama, however, this is a deeply unsettling home invasion horror film which uses its Civil War setting to muse on universal themes – including gender roles, race, violence against women, and the devastating effect of armed conflict.
In the role of Mad – one of the three women at the centre of this horror story – Muna Otaru delivers a performance so brilliantly crafted that her warm presence envelops the entire narrative in a way that is rarely captured in cinema. Mad is a former slave to the family of Augusta (Brit Marling) and Louise (Hailee Steinfeld) – sisters...

The Keeping Room is yet another powerful, post-apocalyptic survivalist drama about man’s inhumanity to man — in this case, woman. The difference is that it’s set in the past and is more or less historically accurate. The place is Georgia, the apocalypse the Civil War; more specifically, the war’s end and the march by William Tecumseh Sherman that drove Old Dixie down. The movie, directed by Daniel Barber from a script by Julia Hart, reminds you that works like The Road aren’t just projections into a barbaric future but extrapolations from the past. We have evidence that cruelty is second nature to some, first nature to others.Brit Marling and Hailee Steinfeld play sisters Augusta and Louise, who remain on their farmstead with a slave, Mad (Muna Otaru), to fend for themselves against Union soldiers like the one who got his face blown off by Scarlett O...

This review was originally published during our coverage of Lff 2014.
The Keeping Room is ‘past-apocalyptic’ cinema. We like to imagine the end of the world coming with nuclear war, asteroid collision or alien invasion. Here, however, we see it as history, a terrifying world as cruel as The Road or Mad Max, where mankind can only crawl among the ashes, a world that’s already happened.
This particular apocalypse is the American Civil War, and its desperate survivors are three Southern women: sisters Augusta and Louise (Brit Marling and Hailee Steinfeld) and their former slave, Mad (Muna Otaru). With the sister’s parents dead, the women are left to scratch an existence in an empty, isolated farmhouse. Their world is one largely devoid of human life, as nearly every man has become gristle for the Confederate war machine and the women have fled in terror.
Under these extreme circumstances, social contracts have broken down.

Five years after the Michael Caine vehicle Harry Brown hit theaters, director Daniel Barber has returned to the director’s seat with a revisitation to period drama, which he first explored with his Oscar nominated short The Tonto Woman. With The Keeping Room, he, along with Brit Marling, Sam Worthington, Hailee Steinfeld and newcomer Muna Otaru, relive the end of the American Civil War still firmly wrapped in the fraying husks of racism and sexism, yet his tale, penned by first time screenwriter Julia Hart, sees these barriers burned to the ground in a fit of valiantly feminine retaliation.
Bolstered by a set of strong female performances, Barber’s essentially feminist film premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. I had the opportunity to sit down with the director to discuss how he came to the project, if he had any apprehensions about tackling American racism as a British filmmaker,...

There have been many movies made about the Civil War, but very few, if any, have been told from a female’s perspective. Now, however, we have The Keeping Room, which attempts to look at history from that point of view and shatter any preconceptions anyone has about gender.
Directed by Daniel Barber, who got Michael Caine to turn vigilante in Harry Brown, and based on the 2012 Black List screenplay by Julia Hart, The Keeping Room stars Brit Marling and Hailee Steinfeld as sisters who are forced to protect the family farmhouse and fend for themselves when their dad and brothers go off to fight in the war.
When two renegade soldiers arrive in their small town, it doesn’t take long to see that they have no real interests other than destroying everything and everyone around them. When the soldiers find out where the sisters live, it’s up...

Ruminations: Barber’s Sophomore Effort Brings the War Home
Director Daniel Barber returns with sophomore effort The Keeping Room, his first film since the Death Wish derivative Harry Brown (2009) starring Michael Caine. Based on Julia Hart’s screenplay, Barber takes us back to the waning days of the Civil War for this homestead invasion thriller which poses intriguing intersections of class, race, and the struggle for domination and survival. But though the presentation is compelling, particularly through its visual strengths and effective editing (often glossing over weaker moments in the script prolonging its formulaic third act), it often seems as if the film isn’t exploring its own potential, meekly elegiac in tone as it teases notions of female agency amidst an apathetic and violent backdrop.
Augusta (Brit Marling) and her younger sister Louise (Hailee Steinfeld) have been left without the comfort of men on their South Carolina homestead as the Civil War rages on.

Simply stated in the title cards of Daniel Barber‘s bleak and understated narrative, “War is cruelty.” And at the start of The Keeping Room, Barber spends little time getting to the needless and hateful violence of people all but removed from morals, and the gravity of their actions. Hardships and loneliness for women abound, and this film is but a small sampling of how vulnerable wives, daughters, and the like can be with a war on. Yet these women are hard and driven when their lives are at stake. There will always be pain and misery on the battlefield, but the same hardships can spill over and affect those left to fend for themselves in uncertain times.
While the talented cast is small, and the pace is anything but cinematic, The Keeping Room is a stunning film for what it sets out to do. Barber, from a Black List...

This review is a reprint of the one that ran during the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. We have seen many Civil War movies depicting the horror of battle, the swaths of men left dead on either side, and the idealogical rift that nearly split the country in two. But Julia Hart's 2012 Black List script takes an approach that's refreshing, setting the film during the fading days of the war, on the home front in South Carolina, where silence is a comfort and terror arrives with the sound of approaching horses. There are no grand battleground speeches or widescreen vistas of hundreds of men rushing towards their death. Instead, "The Keeping Room" attempts a blend of sexual curiosity, home invasion horror and elegiac drama, that doesn't quite work, but whose ambitions are nonetheless compelling. On their own at the family farm, Augusta (Brit Marling), her sister Louise (Hailee Steinfeld) and...

The movie industry churns out a lot of content. A fraction of it is excellent, some of it is good, and a lot of it is – let’s be honest – mediocre, at best. So, when a movie comes along that seems to transcend that ‘industry’ sheen – demonstrating the pure artistry that goes into the crafting of a piece of cinema – it immediately becomes a must-see. Such is the case with The Keeping Room – a Civil War-era horror-thriller that stars Brit Marling, Muna Otaru, Hailee Steinfeld, Sam Worthington and Kyle Soller.

In the clip above, the film's three protagonists (played by Brit Marling, Hailee Steinfeld and newcomer Muna Otaru) prove they are more than just Southern belles as they prepare to protect themselves against the approaching threat, made spooky and monstrous by the slurring disembodied voices heard through the window.

The journey of The Keeping Room, from the page to a big screen theatrical release, has been a long and arduous one. Having featured on the 2012 Black List, the first screenplay from writer Julia Hart became the second feature length film from director, and Academy Award nominee, Daniel Barber – with the finished movie hitting the festival circuit in 2014. It gained steady momentum, racking up three Best Film nominations and a raft of impressive reviews as it went, and is now finally on its way to a wider cinema release on September 25th 2015. This being the case, Drafthouse has opted to further whet our appetites with a brand new clip.

Could we be seeing a quiet resurgence of the Western? During the Comic-Con presentation for "The Hateful Eight," Quentin Tarantino talked about being a Western director, and said that he doesn't feel like he's earned the right to call himself that until and unless he makes a third Western. The idea that we could see three Westerns inside of a decade, much less from one filmmaker, feels sort of groundbreaking considering how many times the genre has been pronounced dead over the years. What's really exciting is seeing that there are big studio Westerns being made as well as small indie Westerns, and once again, as in the heyday of the genre, any numbers of stories are being told. The Western is the American mythic form, a type of storytelling that allows us to tell big moral stories against this remarkable backdrop. And it sounds like "The Keeping Room" is...

After announcing a Kurt Russell included first wave, we get a wave that probably includes all the films I have the most interest in. The French remake of what I consider is one of Mario Bava’s best films, Rabid Dogs is included. Along with Jeremy Saulnier’s follow up from Blue Ruin, Green Room where Patrick Stewart plays a Neo-Nazi club owner, Ridley Scott’s The Martian, Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of High-Rise and the horror film that has some chilling buzz, The Witch, are all included.

True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld will be making her third foray into the Western genre later this year in The Keeping Room, alongside Another Earth and The East star Brit Marling.
The Keeping Room, whose first trailer has now been released, marks the debut of screenwriter Julia Hart, with Harry Brown director Daniel Barber helming the feature. Steinfeld and Marling are joined onscreen by Muna Otaru, Kyle Soller, Ned Dennehy, and Sam Worthington.
The film’s synopsis is as follows:
Left without men in the dying days of the American Civil War, three Southern women – two sisters and one African-American slave – must fight to defend their home and themselves from two rogue soldiers who have broken off from the fast-approaching Union Army.
The Keeping Room originally ended up on The Black List, a collection of sought-after unproduced screenplays, in 2012. The film’s original cast was comprised of Steinfeld, Olivia Wilde,...

Called “a feminist western with bite” (Indiewire) and “a beautifully breathless revisionist western” midway between Cold Mountain and Straw Dogs (Little White Lies), anchored in the “bold and fearless” performances (Film School Rejects) delivered by its lead women,” Drafthouse Films has released a new trailer for The Keeping Room.
In this radically reimagined American Western set towards the end of the Civil War, Southerner Augusta (Brit Marling, Arbitrage, The East) encounters two renegade, drunken soldiers (Sam Worthington, Avatar & Kyle Soller, BBC’s “Poldark”) who are on a mission of pillage and violence. After escaping an attempted assault, Augusta races back to the isolated farmhouse that she shares with her sister Louise (Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit, Pitch Perfect 2) and their female slave Mad (newcomer Muna Otaru.) When the pair of soldiers track Augusta down intent on exacting revenge, the trio of women are forced to take up arms to fend off their assailants,...

‘Point of view’ in cinematic storytelling is at the crux of the entire issue of equality and sexism in film. Its influence on popular culture – and, in turn, society as a whole – is routinely underestimated. The fact is that the majority of the narratives we watch on our screens are told from the point of view of white men – making their experience the ‘norm,’ and everything else marginal. This creates a skewed cultural perspective, and leads to a situation that reinforces a pervasive sense of entitlement – if your perspective were the only one regularly represented in the media, you would unconsciously assume it was the most important, too. This is why The Keeping Room is a vital film.
In reality, the perspective of white men is, of course, no more important than any other perspective – particularly considering that that point of view is actually in the minority in global terms.

A pair of drunken gunslingers wandering around and causing trouble with innocent town folk in the Civil War era wild west might be nothing new. But the same kinda guys crossing paths with a trio of women who mean “no” when they say it (and have the fire and will-power to fight back) … now, that’s something interesting. Presenting “The Keeping Room,” a southern-western concept pic starring Brit Marling as Augusta, a woman who is attacked by a couple of vicious, oft-pillaging soldiers (one of whom is played by Sam Worthington) but escapes their clutches long enough to return home where her sister (Hailee Steinfeld, returning to her star-making “True Grit” form for the pic) and maid (Muna Otaru) await unaware ,,,,...

Making its world premiere at the 39th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival last year, was "The Keeping Room," a feature film, you might recall, Nicole Beharie was initially attached to co-star in (when the project was first announced in late 2012), but she exited, and was replaced by Muna Otaru.

Drafthouse Films has released the first trailer for Daniel Barber’s “The Keeping Room,” which stars Brit Marling, Hailee Steinfeld, Sam Worthington, Kyle Soller and newcomer Muna Otaru. Based on a 2012 Black List screenplay written by Julia Hart, “The Keeping Room” is a tense and uncompromising tale of survival that also shatters both gender and genre conventions. In this radically reimagined American Western set towards the end of the Civil War, southerner Augusta (Marling) encounters two renegade, drunken soldiers (Worthington, Soller) who are on a mission of pillage and violence. After escaping an attempted assault, Augusta races back to the isolated.

There have been many films set in the south during the Civil War, but none quite like "The Keeping Room." It's a taut thriller that takes place far from the front lines, where random violence punctuates the tense rural air. It's in this environment that the film unfolds. Starring Brit Marling, Hailee Steinfeld, Muna Otaru, and Sam Worthington, the story follows two sisters and their female slave who are riding out the war in an isolated farmhouse, when some drunken soldiers with evil deeds on their minds come calling.

The only words I needed to hear to peak my interest in The Keeping Room were "revisionist female western" but then they added Brit Marling and Hailee Steinfeld to completely seal the deal.
Directed by Daniel Barber from a script by Julia Hart, the story unfolds in the last days of the Civil War. Marling and Steinfeld play sisters who, along with their slave, played by Muna Otaru, must defend their home and themselves from rogue soldiers, led by Sam Worthington, who have broken off from the Union Army and are making their way across the land, stealing and pillaging as they go.
It's no surprise the trailer for The Keeping Room looks spectacular. Not only does it showcase a number of talented actors, Marling in particular looks on point, but the movie is shot by German [Continued ...]...

"You bar this door behind me! If a man comes throughn, no matter what - you shoot!" Drafthouse Films has debuted the first trailer for The Keeping Room, a thriller set during the dying days of the American Civil War. The film stars Brit Marling and Hailee Steinfeld as sisters, who must fight to defend their home when two rogue soldiers from the Union Army come after them. They're joined by Muna Otaru, who plays a slave with them at their farmhouse fighting back. This looks solid. A bit dark at times, but otherwise not so bad for an indie revisionist western told from the woman's perspective. Opens in theaters September.

Read More: Something Dangerous Looms on the Horizon in Exclusive 'The Keeping Room' Poster Debut screenwriter Julia Hart and director Daniel Barber give the American Western a powerful feminist revision in "The Keeping Room," starring Brit Marling, Hailee Steinfeld, Sam Worthington and newcomer Muna Otaru. The film premiered to critical acclaim at last year's Toronto International Film Festival and was a hot commodity on last year's festival circuit. Set in the rural South of 1865, the drama unfolds in the final moments of the Civil War, as northern troops progress towards victory. But those events take place well beyond the awareness of the three women at its center: Augusta (Marling), her teenage sister Louise (Steinfeld) and their slave Mad (Otaru). As all the men in their lives vanished long ago on the battlefield, the women exist in a static world, waiting for a salvation that they've started to realize will never come.

In “The Keeping Room”, two sisters and a slave girl defend their plantation from a pair of violent Union soldiers in the waning days of the Civil War. A brutal and unsentimental portrait of the cruelties of war not only on the battlefield, but also at home, the film opens with an ominous scene of violent cruelty, setting the tone for what gradually becomes a bleaker and bleaker (but always captivating) viewing experience. Dark and almost belligerently atmospheric, the film stars indie queen Brit Marling as Augusta, a woman who, alongside little sister Louise (Hailee Steinfeld), and family slave Mad (Muna Otaru), keeps her South Carolina farmstead going in the absence of her Confederate...

We have seen many Civil War movies depicting the horror of battle, the swaths of men left dead on either side, and the idealogical rift that nearly split the country in two. But Julia Hart's 2012 Black List script takes an approach that's refreshing, setting the film during the fading days of the war, on the home front in South Carolina, where silence is a comfort and terror arrives with the sound of approaching horses. There are no grand battleground speeches or widescreen vistas of hundreds of men rushing towards their death. Instead, "The Keeping Room" attempts a blend of sexual curiosity, home invasion horror and elegiac drama, that doesn't quite work, but whose ambitions are nonetheless compelling. On their own at the family farm, Augusta (Brit Marling), her sister Louise (Hailee Steinfeld) and slave Mad (Muna Otaru) have forged a survivalist domesticity to last out the war. They rarely,...

Brit Marling’s body of work is mounting into an accomplished resume. A multihyphenate if ever there was one, the actress has also written, produced and directed a chunk of titles from that resume – but not this one. In Daniel Barber’s The Keeping Room, Marling is solely in front of the camera alongside a Hailee Steinfeld and Muna Otaru. The story surrounds two sisters and the family slave at the tale end of the American Civil War. The women tend to the family farm after the male family members have all presumably perished in battle. When two Yankee scouts come into their lives, it turns out there’s more to be afraid of than whether or not one of the dairy cows has got a septic udder.
The first clip looks like the film will be a performance-rich piece, that’ll probably land a few awards nods. Augusta (Marling...

One of the Tiff movies we've been most intrigued by, even if it's somewhat under the radar, is "The Keeping Room." Directed by "Harry Brown" helmer Daniel Barber, and penned by first time screenwriter Julia Hart, it tells the story of three South Carolina woman at the end of the Civil War who find their home besieged by a pair of Yankee soldiers. Brit Marling, Hailee Steinfeld and relative newcomer Muna Otaru play the heroines, while Sam Worthington and newcomer Kyle Soller play their adversaries. While it all sounded promising on paper, it might look even better in practice, as Deadline just debuted the first clip from the film, and it looks solid. The vibe is a sort of Terrence Malick genre picture, and the actresses look very strong, including what could be a star-making performance from Otaru. Of course, we've been wrong before, but amidst all the Tiff noise,...

Exclusive: Courting sales at Toronto this week is Civil War suspense drama The Keeping Room, the tale of three Southern women – Augusta (Brit Marling), her sheltered sister Louise (Hailee Steinfeld), and their long-silent family slave Mad (Muna Otaru) – defending themselves and their isolated farmhouse in the waning days of the war. Sam Worthington and Anna Karenina’s Kyle Soller also star as a pair of marauding Union soldiers in the film. Daniel Barber (Harry Brown) directs from Julia Hart’s 2012 Black List script.
Here’s how Barber sets up Deadline’s exclusive clip: “When Julia and I were working on the script for The Keeping Room, we tried very hard to imagine how the characters would behave with each other. We wanted their relationships to be very real, very natural and unforced. Augusta had this incredible strength of character, she was such a force of nature, she was so headstrong.
