THE DOOR Poster
Check out the new poster for the upcoming drama The Door starring Helen Mirren. Good old-fashioned storytelling illuminates the relationship between two women in Academy Award-winning director Istvan Szabo’s elegantly directed drama. The film describes the unusual relationship between a well-to-do novelist and her poor, elderly maid.
A showcase for the formidable acting talent of leads Helen Mirren and Martina Gedeck (The Lives of Others), this character-driven drama feels too traditional, however, to rally the audiences that Mirren’s performance, in particular, deserves. Set in Hungary in the 1960s, the film faces the additional hurdle of English-language dialogue that sounds forced in the dubbing of minor roles. Still, the overall quality of the production and its powerful story are bound to draw some art house interest.
The rest of the cast includes Martina Gedeck, Károly Eperjes, Gábor Koncz, Enikö Börcsök, Mari Nagy, Ági Szirtes and Péter Andorai.
No official release date has been set for The Door, but we can expect it to see it play in limited theaters during 2012.
