With Will Arnett (Batman), Michael Cera (Robin), Ralph Fiennes (Alfred Pennyworth), Rosario Dawson (Commissioner Barbara Gordon), Channing Tatum (Superman), and Zach Galifianakis (The Joker)

Taste the rainbow, feel its length



TRANCE

A delightfully throwback thriller that's far more about crafting imagery than it is about anything you're particularly likely to give a shit about, like sensible or comprehensible plotting, how brains work, or, until its last surprisingly functional moments, character.  But it's so gorgeous, I rarely minded.

Written by Joe Ehearne and John Hodge
With Rosario Dawson (Elizabeth), James McAvoy (Simon), and Vincent Cassel (Franck)
