The Goldfinch
Following his success with Brooklyn, director John Crowley takes on a larger canvas in this sweeping, coming-of-age tale based on Donna Tartt’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.
We first meet mysterious Theodore Decker holed up in an Amsterdam hotel, desperate and facing a lethal threat. His story since childhood then unfolds in layers of rash decisions and sudden betrayals. Young Theo saw his privileged life with his mother shattered one day when his mother died in a museum bombing, sending him on an odyssey of grief and guilt, reinvention and redemption. Through it all, he holds on to one tangible piece of hope from that terrible day: a priceless painting of a bird chained to its perch, The Goldfinch.
Nicole Kidman and Ansel Elgort (BABY DRIVER) lead a top-flight cast in this tale of criminal plots, personal secrets, and the transformative power of art.
