Michael Roskam's Bullhead has received a great deal of press in these pages for the simple reason that it is very, very good.
And now, riding on the strength of a Best Foreign Film Oscar nomination, a limited US theatrical release is planned for February 17th and a new US trailer has arrived.
Domineering cattle farmer Jacky Vanmarsenille (Mattias Schoenaerts in a ferocious breakout performance), constantly pumped on steroids and hormones, initiates a shady deal with a notorious mafioso meat trader. When an investigating federal agent is assassinated and a woman from his traumatic past resurfaces, Jacky must confront his demons and face the far-reaching consequences of his decisions.
Drafthouse Films have cut a brand new trailer for the film, a potent bit of work, that can be seen over at Apple right now. Very well worth the time.
