Whale, The
WINNER OF 2 OSCARS: Best Actor (Brendan Fraser), Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
Winner of multiple awards at the Venice Film Festival and 2023 Oscar Winner (Best Actor), Brendan Fraser (Gods And Monsters, The Mummy) gives “the performance of a lifetime” (Time Out) in director Darren Aronofsky’s drama THE WHALE.
Based on the play by Samuel D. Hunter, Fraser stars opposite Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), Samantha Morton (Minority Report) and Hong Chau in an emotive drama of a recluse who became estranged from his family following events that profoundly changed his life. Regularly visited by his carer Liz (Chau), the unexpected arrival of his teenage daughter (Sink) has unanticipated consequences on Charlie’s isolated existence.
THE WHALE features a transformative comeback performance by Fraser that is expected to reward him with an Oscar nomination. Black Swan, Mother! and Requiem For A Dream director Darren Aronofsky returns to the philosophical territory that has made him one of the most striking filmmakers of his generation.
