Well Go Entertainment released a new trailer and poster for the upcoming thriller Partisan, starring Vincent Cassel as the leader of a cult-like commune. The film marks the feature debut from director Ariel Kleiman, who also co-wrote the film with Sarah Cyngler.
Partisan is set to open in theaters and on VOD platforms October 2nd.
On the edge of a crumbling city, 11-year-old Alexander (Jeremy Chabriel) lives in a sequestered commune alongside other children, their mothers, and charismatic leader, Gregori (Vincent Cassel). Gregori teaches the children how to raise livestock, grow vegetables, work as a community – and how to kill. With the birth of a new baby brother weighing on his mind, Alexander begins to question Gregori’s overpowering influence on the children and their training to become assassins. Threatened by his increasing unwillingness to fall in line, Gregori’s behavior turns erratic and adversarial toward the child he once considered a son. With the two set dangerously at odds and the commune’s way of life disintegrating, the residents fear a violent resolution is at hand in this Sundance award-winning thriller.
