‘Youth’ Trailer: Michael Caine And Harvey Keitel Aren’t Getting Any Younger
By Angie Han/Aug. 28, 2015 10:30 am EST
Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel star as best friends Fred and Mick, who go on a vacation to the Swiss Alps with Fred’s daughter Lena (Rachel Weisz). While Mick’s still plugging away at his final screenplay, Fred’s a renowned orchestra composer who’s entered retirement — but then Fred gets an invitation to perform for Queen Elizabeth II. Paul Dano and Jane Fonda also star. Watch the Youth trailer after the jump.
There are some funny moments here, and Last Vegas-worthy shots of older guys ogling beautiful young women, but for the most part this looks like an emotional, even melancholy affair. Youth got warm reviews at Cannes earlier this year (though TheWrap notes there were some boos, but that’s kind of a Cannes tradition). It’s clearly gorgeous to look at, and it’s got a bang-up cast exploring rich themes. You could do worse as a palate cleanser before diving into all that Force Awakens madness.
Youth arrives December 4.
