Next month will bring the last leading performance from Robin Williams and it’s also one of his most complex. Boulevard follows Williams as a married but closeted 60 year-old bank employee whose life changes in unexpected ways after recklessly picking up a young male hustler. Following a premiere at Tribeca Film Festival last year, the first trailer has now arrived.
We said in our review, “An unexpected turn for director Dito Montiel, known for his portraits of rugged masculinity in the inner city, including his debut future A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints and Fighting, Boulevard is a tender portrait of a man about to shatter an illusion he’s created for himself. Opening with an out-of-focus shot of Nolan Mack coming to terms with the eventual death of his father, Nolan, like his father and the audience, are not “present” in the moment.”
Also starring Kathy Baker, Bob Odenkirk and Roberto Aguire, check out the trailer and poster below.
Boulevard opens on July 10th.
