Come What May — U.S. Trailer

added: Fri, Jul 15th '16

French filmmaker Christian Carion made his mark with the 2005 Oscar-nominated WWI drama "Joyeux Noel." He returns to similar territory with "Come What May," the sprawling 1940-set wartime drama about a German dissenter who is forced to flee his country to escape the Nazis and journeys across occupied France as he tries to figure a way to reunite with his 8-year-old son.

The film, shot in multiple languages (French, German, and English), stars German actor August Diehl (Inglourious Basterds), French actress Mathilde Seigner (The Girl from Paris) and Welsh actor Matthew Rhys (the recent Emmy nominee for FX's "The Americans"), who plays a Scottish captain who, after losing his entire squad in a gun battle with the Germans, finds himself wandering through the French countryside.

Inspired by true events and featuring a musical score by legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone (The Hateful Eight, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly), "Come What May" will open in select U.S. theaters on September 9th. In the meantime, check out the film's U.S. trailer, above.
