A24 has released the trailer for 'Eddington', a film by Ari Aster that merges the Western genre with contemporary themes. Set in a secluded New Mexico town in May 2020, the narrative centers on a conflict between sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) that escalates into violence and chaos. The film explores deeper issues such as control, ego, and societal division, with unsettling visuals that reflect the fear and uncertainty of the pandemic era. With a strong cast, 'Eddington' promises both tension and a psychological examination of power dynamics.
A24 has dropped the official trailer for Eddington, Ari Aster's latest genre experiment and his first foray into the American Western-though, as expected, this is no conventional oater. Set against the backdrop of a remote New Mexico town in May 2020, Eddington stars Joaquin Phoenix as the local sheriff and Pedro Pascal as the town's mayor.
Known for unsettling audiences with films like Hereditary and Midsommar, Aster once again leans into discomfort-this time by colliding genre tropes with contemporary tension.
Sheriff vs. Mayor: A Small Town Power Clash. Set in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Eddington paints a vivid picture of isolation and ideological division.
With each frame, it becomes clear this isn't just about two men-it's about the collective breakdown of a town wrestling with fear, truth, and authority in an era defined by both.
