"Friends may come, friends may go. Enemies are always faithful." Roadside Attractions has revealed the official US trailer for an indie film from the UK titled Benediction, the latest feature from award-winning British filmmaker Terence Davies (The Neon Bible, The Deep Blue Sea, Sunset Song). This first premiered at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival last fall, and it also played at last year's San Sebastián and London Film Festivals. The film tells the life story of English poet, writer and soldier Siegfried Sassoon - who struggled with the horrors of war of The Great War in England. His poetry was inspired by experiences on the Western Front, and he became one of the leading war poets of the era. Adored by members of the aristocracy as well as stars of London's literary and stage world, he embarked on affairs with several men as he attempted to come to terms with his homosexuality. The cast features Jack Lowden and Peter Capaldi as Siegfried (young and old), with Calam Lynch, Kate Phillips, Geraldine James, Julian Sands, Jeremy Irvine, Anton Lesser, and Gemma Jones. This is an exquisite, lovely, and emotionally-wrought film to discover. ›››
