We have two new clips for Tony Kaye’s Detachment starring Oscar winner Adrien Brody. We’ve talked about this film before and the fact that I’m looking forward to it. In the film, Brody plays a disconnected substitute teacher Henry Barthes struggling to find his way. He bounces from school to school, avoiding any sort of attachment (hence, the title) to his students, but a placement at an underprivileged school with a student body looking for inspiration becomes his chance at salvation.

Henry Barthes Needs Someone to Talk To

Henry Barthes Loses His Cool

The film screened at the Tribeca Film Festival last spring and IFC films finally picked it up but they  are taking their time releasing it. You’d think they would have wanted to capitalize on the great reception Brody’s turn as Salvador Dali received in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. Perhaps if that film gets some awards recognition (which it might. The screenplay is being talked up as well as Corey Stoll’s performance as Ernest Hemingway), then Detachment might get a bit of a bounce.

Marcia Gay Harden, Christina Hendricks, William Petersen, Bryan Cranston and James Caan also star. Detachment hits Video on Demand February 24th, and theaters in March.
