Nightmare Alley

Nominated for 4 Academy Awards: Best Film, Cinematography, Costume Design and Production Design!
From Oscar winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes a star-studded adaptation of William Lindsay Gresham’s crime novel and the 1947 film noir by Edmund Goulding. Bradley Cooper is handsome drifter Stanton Carlisle, who falls in with a travelling sideshow populated by carnies and shysters. Endearing himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her alcoholic mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn), his resourcefulness draws the attention of the wholesome Molly (Rooney Mara). With the help of his new colleagues, Stanton soon makes a name for himself as a telepath to the wealthy elite before embarking on a dangerous grift. Co-starring Cate Blanchett (as an unforgettably icy noir-bombshell), Willem Dafoe, Ron Perlman and Richard Jenkins, del Toro’s opulent NIGHTMARE ALLEY is the director once again working at the top of his game following the triumph of the Academy Award winning The Shape of Water.
