THE IMMIGRANT Trailer Stars Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix & Jeremy Renner

Watch the beautiful new trailer for THE IMMIGRANT.

In James Gray’s THE IMMIGRANT, Ewa Cybulski (Marion Cotillard) and her sister sail to New York from their native Poland in search of a new start and the American dream. When they reach Ellis Island, doctors discover that Magda (Angela Sarafyan) is ill, and the two women are separated. Ewa is released onto the mean streets of Manhattan while her sister is quarantined.

Alone, with nowhere to turn and desperate to reunite with Magda, Ewa quickly falls prey to Bruno (Joaquin Phoenix), a charming but wicked man who takes her in and forces her into prostitution. The arrival of Orlando (Jeremy Renner) – a dashing stage magician who is also Bruno’s cousin – restores her self-belief and hopes for a brighter future, becoming her only chance to escape the nightmare in which she finds herself.

THE IMMIGRANT debuted at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and also screened at the New York Film Festival in October.

In his review, Jose Solis (stagebuddy.com) wrote, “While everyone in the cast is phenomenal, most attention should be given to its leading lady: a lesser actress would’ve made Ewa seem like a martyr, but the endlessly expressive Cotillard gives her a humanity that becomes beautifully ironic when seen through Darius Khondji’s lens.”

From The Weinstein Company, the movie opens on May 16th.
