“A Most Violent Year” follows the life of an immigrant (Oscar Isaac) and his wife (Jessica Chastain, sporting a blonde wig), as they attempt to capitalize on the American Dream during 1981, statistically one of the most crime-ridden years of New York City’s history.
The film will qualify for the Academy Awards by opening in New York and Los Angeles on December 31. It will expand nationally throughout January 2015. It world premieres November 6 at the AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles, CA.
