The Master (2012, Annapurna Pictures)










I think expectations will be high when The Master is released in September which is pretty much self-explanatory when you note that the film stars Joaquin Pheonix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams playing cult initiators.

Pheonix plays the role of Freddie Quell, a soldier returning home from World War II apparently suffering PTSD. He meets Lancaster Dodd (Hoffman) who is launching a religious organisation (cult) and becomes totally submerged in the movement but later finds himself questioning his beliefs.

Some of the opening shots in the trailer already show off the fantastic photography we expect to see throughout the film. Especially the camera angles and placements definitely give the film an edgy and dramatic feel.

The Master opens worldwide on September 21st 2012. It was bumped up from October 12th partially due to the current interest surrounding Scientology after Tom Cruise and Katie Holme's divorce.
