Michael Shannon embarks on a torrid love affair with Imogen Poots in the trailer for "Frank & Lola," which is being described as a "psychosexual love story."

Marking the feature debut of writer-director Matthew Ross, the romantic noir sees Shannon as a rising Las Vegas chef who has a sexual tryst with an aspiring fashion designer (played by Poots). After additional sultry encounters, Shannon's character grows increasingly obsessed with the young woman to the point of self-destructive jealousy. Things take a dark turn when he learns of her past sexual history involving a shady Paris-based businessman (played by Swedish actor Michael Nyqvist, of "John Wick" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" trilogy).

Co-starring Justin Long, Rosanna Arquette, Emmanuelle Devos, and Stella Schnabel, "Frank & Lola," which premiered to mostly positive reviews at the Sundance Film Festival in January, is coming to theaters and VOD on December 9.

synopsis:
Set in Las Vegas and Paris, two of the world's most glamorous cities, FRANK and LOLA is a psychosexual noir romance about love and sex, obsession and betrayal, revenge and redemption. Matthew Ross's debut feature stars Michael Shannon as Frank, an up-and-coming chef, and Imogen Poots as Lola, an aspiring fashion designer, who find one another at a point when each is at a defining moment in life. Their affair is sudden, passionate, and seemingly everything Frank has always wanted. But, his happiness proves short-lived when a man from Lola's past, a past that is full of secrets, turns up on the scene, forcing Frank to question whether he can trust Lola -- or himself.
