“A successful investment banker struggles after losing his wife in a tragic car crash.”
Directed by Jean-Marc Vallée (Dallas Buyers Club, Wild) Demolition looks like another one of his indie gems. Starring superstar actor Jake Gyllenhaal and Naomi Watts, Demolition tells a story that focuses on how we as human beings deal with pain and regret, and just how complicated life can be sometimes. I think it looks like a uniquely engaging dramedy (drama/comedy) and I am excited to see it. Check out the trailer below.
Davis, a successful investment banker, struggles after losing his wife in a tragic car crash. Despite pressure from his father in law Phil to pull it together, Davis continues to unravel. What starts as a complaint letter to a vending machine company turns into a series of letters revealing startling personal admissions.
