Searchlight Pictures has released the trailer for the upcoming gay romance All of Us Strangers, adapted from Taichi Yamada’s 1987 Japanese psychological novel “Strangers” and directed by Andrew Haigh.
Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott portray characters who start as neighbors and eventually become lovers. Andrew Scott takes on the role of Adam, a screenwriter, while Paul Mescal plays the mysterious Harry. As their relationship deepens, Adam returns to his childhood home, only to uncover a perplexing revelation: his parents, portrayed by Claire Foy and Jamie Bell, who passed away three decades ago, appear to be alive once more.
The trailer shows how the two men meet and start a relationship, how Adam returns to his childhood home, where he finds his parents, who died 30 years earlier in a car crash when he was just a boy, looking exactly as they did the day of their fatal accident, and how he says the things he never got to say.
“I’ve always felt like a stranger in my own family,” Harry tells Adam in one of the scenes, which shows them lying naked on Adam’s apartment floor, talking about their lives. “It’s funny,” Adam answers, “it doesn’t take much to make you feel the way you felt.”
The song used in the trailer is the iconic song “Always On My Mind” by Pet Shop Boys.
Described as “a sublime masterpiece”, the movie is coming to theaters this winter, on December 22.
