Darren Aronofsky's "Trapped": "Both tragedy and happy endings provoke extreme emotions"

The director of "Requiem for a Dream" and "Black Swan" delivers a breathtaking thriller set in 1990s New York. A truly powerful film, in theaters this Wednesday, starring Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz and Matt Smith.
By Michel ValentinHank, who almost became a baseball champion before a car accident, is a bartender in a New York bar. He lives in a shabby apartment and one day finds himself almost forced by his neighbor, Ross, a British punk, to take care of his cat, before disappearing into thin air. A kindness that will cost him dearly...
Darren Aronofsky is never where you expect him to be. After the incredible "The Whale" (2022), which won two Oscars, the director focuses on an old book by Charlie Huston, a fellow New Yorker, in "Trapped," in theaters this Wednesday, August 27. A story set in the 1990s, which once again deals with addiction, and leads its hero, played by the amazing Austin Butler, into a particularly cheesy descent into hell.
