After a quiet period in her professional life, Julia Roberts is stepping back into the spotlight, taking on a complex new role in psychological drama, ‘After The Hunt.’
Directed by Italy’s Luca Guadagnino, Roberts plays Alma Imhoff, a Yale philosophy professor caught up in a sexual assault accusation involving one of her students and a longtime friend and colleague. As the story unfolds, a dark secret from Alma’s own past threatens to come into the light.
The film, also starring Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny, recently debuted at the Venice International Film Festival and hits theatres here on October 16.
