The story is set in America in the years following World War II. A charismatic man returns home to America from World War II and forms a faith-based organization. He is now known as "the Master" and his belief system is catching on. As the group is gaining momentum and adding new converts, a young drifter arrives and becomes the Master's invaluable aid.
The film stars Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Symour Hoffman, Jesse Plemons, David Warshofsky, Amy Adams, and Rami Malek. The movie gets a limited release on September 14th, and will expand to other theaters on September 21st. I wonder how this movie will be recieved by audiences. I love Anderson's films, he's great at storytelling and his films are also shot incredibly well. I can't wait to see how this turns out. Enjoy the trailer!
