TIFF ’12: Brian De Palma’s ‘Passion’ Trailer

Here’s the trailer for the new Brian De Palma directed thriller, Passion, which is set to premier at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Noomi Rapace and Rachel McAdams, and De Palma also wrote the screenplay. Although his work hasn’t been up to par lately, I’m very hopeful that this will put him back on the map. Hit the jump for the synopsis and trailer.

The offices of a prominent multinational corporation is the setting for this story of a power struggle between two contemporary women. Isabelle has unlimited admiration for her direct superior, Christine, a woman well-schooled in the ways of power. Christine enjoys holding sway over Isabelle, leads her one step at a time and ever more deeply into a game of seduction and manipulation, of dominance and servitude. The game is played for keeps, and there is no turning back.
