Louder Than Bombs

Leaving May 31 • 1h 49m

Directed by Joachim Trier • 2015 • Norway
Starring Gabriel Byrne, Isabelle Huppert, Jesse Eisenberg

Norwegian director Joachim Trier’s first English-language feature centers on the death of a famous conflict photographer (Isabelle Huppert) and how her husband (Gabriel Byrne) and sons (Jesse Eisenberg and Devin Druid) cope while unraveling the truth behind the mysterious accident that claimed her life. Featuring a typically arresting performance by Isabelle Huppert—whose absent presence haunts the edges of every frame—LOUDER THAN BOMBS finds Trier applying his richly novelistic style to an empathetic exploration of trauma and healing that, despite its title, explodes with quiet force.
