“Anniversary”: Cinema stars in the Hollywood debut of Jan Komasa

“Everyone wanted to have a photo with Steven Spielberg. Dad managed to do it. I learned one sentence in English: ‘I would like to be such a director like you’. He said: ‘You will one day’ – said Jan Komasa on TVN24.

Our “export director” invited stars like Diane to the project Lane, nominated for an Oscar for her role in “Unfaithful”, Kyle Chandler, whom we watched in “Wolf from Wall Street”, or Daryl McCormack, who gained popularity with an role alongside Emma Thompson in “Good luck, Leo Grande”. The author of the photos is another Pole, Piotr Sobociński Jr, who has such films as “Wołyń”, “Silent Night”, “Gods”, “Wedding” and “Hiacynt”.

“Anniversary” It is a provocative thriller with a very close family, which is becoming more and more visible year after year when a new social movement called “change” begins to spread in the country. This story combines a personal tragedy with a social diagnosis of times. This is an unforgettable journey deep into the darkest fears about the future of America.

In the cast of the film, in addition to the mentioned Lane, Chandler and McCormack, there were: Zoey Deutch (Samanta from “Before I leave”), Madeline Brewer (Janine from “Hand story”), Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne from “Bridgerton”), McNenna Grace (Phoebe from “Pogrom Magrom”) and Dylan O’Brien (Thomas from the “labyrinth prisoner”).

When one beautiful afternoon during a party on the occasion of the 25th wedding anniversary, the son of Ellen and Paul presents them to them his new girlfriend, no one suspects that this is the beginning of the end of this happy family. This new fiancée is Liz, a former student of Ellen, expelled years ago from the university for radical views. Under the charming superficiality, it hides great ambitions, but no scruples.

With each subsequent anniversary, the influence of Liz on the family is becoming bigger and more and more destructive, and the new ideology it promoted called by “change” is gaining wider publicity. His hidden family conflicts gain new power while the country is standing above the edge of the abyss.
