The period drama Miss Julie premieres next month at TIFF. Ahead of that comes our first look at the film with a trailer, which may have French subtitles but still gives us a good taste and suggests we’re going to get a great performance from Jessica Chastain.

At turns seductive and tender, savage and bullying, their story builds inevitably to a mad, impulsive tryst. Plans are made in desperation, a vision of a life together – unsure if the morning light then brings hope or hopelessness, Julie and John find their escape in an act that is as sublime and horrific as anything in Greek tragedy.
