Check out this beautiful new poster for Tony Kaye's Detachment. We’ve talked about my Adrien Brody 'jones' and the fact that I’ve been keeping my eye out for this one.  I love the fact that he still takes the roles he wants to play, regardless of size or budget. He had one scene in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris and nearly stole the movie. Detachment played the Tribeca Film Festival last Spring (and if my boss had cooperated I was going to take the train down to NY to see it *shakes fist*) and both star and director (whose American History X reinvented Edward Norton and is a modern classic) got very good notices.  It's since been to a number of other festivals, including Deauville, for which this poster for was made.

Synopsis: Detachment is a chronicle of three weeks in the lives of several high school teachers, administrators and students through the eyes of a substitute teacher named Henry Barthes (Brody). Henry roams from school to school, imparting modes of knowledge, but never staying long enough to form any semblance of sentient attachment. A perfect profession for one seeking to hide out in the open. One day Henry arrives at his next assignment. Upon his entry into this particular school, a secret world of emotion is awakened within him by three women. A girl named Meredith in his first period, a fellow teacher Ms. Madison (Christina Hendricks), and a street hooker named Erica, whom Henry has personally granted brief shelter from the streets. Each one of these women, like Henry, are in a life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world. 

Detachment also stars Bryan Cranston, James Caan, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner, Maria Gay Harden, William Petersen, Tim Blake Nelson and Doug E. Doug. It gets a theatrical release here in the US in February and will be on VOD sometime before that.
