On tap right now we have a boatload of eye candy for Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s new ghost story, Daguerrotype. Don’t ask us how to pronounce it as you’re on your own there. We can tell you, though, that a daguerrotype is a photograph taken by an early photographic process employing an iodine-sensitized silvered plate and mercury vapor. You know… the perfect place to capture spirits!
The film is opening on VOD nationwide on Tuesday, November 7, on all major platforms including iTunes, Sony, Google Play, Amazon, Microsoft, Vudu, Comcast, Charter, Cox, Vimeo, and various other cable operators.
Tahar Rahim, Olivier Gourmet, and Constance Rousseau star.
Synopsis:
Jean (Tahar Rahim), a young Parisian with few skills and even fewer prospects, seems an unlikely candidate for assistant to famed photographer Stéphane (Olivier Gourmet), an obsessive perfectionist living in isolation since his wife’s unexpected death. Yet, he soon finds himself in his new employer’s vast, decaying mansion, helping to create life-sized daguerrotypes so vivid they seem almost to contain some portion of their subjects’ souls.
Their model is most often Stéphane’s daughter and muse, Marie (Constance Rousseau); and as she and Jean fall in love, they realize they must hatch a plot to leave Stéphane’s haunted world forever. But is there something malevolent within the massive daguerrotypes that will prevent their escape?
From acclaimed Japanese master Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Creepy, Pulse) comes Daguerrotype, a classic ghost story bent through the lens of one of the most singular horror visionaries at work today.
