From 1998 PI Darren Aronofsky has proven himself to be one of the best and most original filmmakers of his generation, in a string of challenging and critically acclaimed and (sometimes) controversial films. movies like Requiem For A Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Black Swan, Noah, Mother! and more attracted attention, both praise and scorn, winning awards and more. In other words, his films are being talked about. his latest video, The whale is no different in that regard, screening to a six-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival in September. Last weekend, it set an opening record for special releases in 2022 and continues to garner strong Oscar hype, especially for its star Brendan Fraser. The story of a 600-pound man desperately trying to reconnect with his teenage daughter is another highlight in Aronofsky’s career, which the estate, originally a play by Sam Hunter (who also wrote the screenplay), 10th for years the right to do. had such a hand. Elements finally came together for the A24 release, which launches more widely on Wednesday.
