The first trailer for the film Mothers' Instinct was shared on Tuesday morning. Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain play 1960s suburban housewives who live side by side in a seemingly perfect community. Hathaway is a beauty as Celine, with short hair and a Ladies Who Lunch look. Jessica plays her best friend and neighbor Alice in the main roles
The film is an adaptation of the 2012 novel Derriere le Haine (Behind the Hate) by Barbara Abel, whose story takes place in the 1960s.
The story centers on Alice (Chastain) and Celine (Hathaway), who both lead traditional, idyllic lifestyles and each have successful husbands and sons the same age.
But both their lives are turned upside down by tragedy as their sisterly bond fades and gives way to a psychological war of wits.
Masset-Depasse directs from a screenplay by Sarah Conradt (“50 States of Fright”), adapted from the Abel novel.
Chastain produces through her company Freckle Films (The 355) with her partner Kelly Carmichael, along with Paul Nelson at Mosaic and Jacques-Henri Bronckart.
European financier Anton will fully finance and produce the film.
“It takes actors of the caliber of Jessica and Anne to convey the complexity of these two roles,” director Masset-Depasse said in a statement.
“The relationship between mother and child is the strongest bond between two people,” the director added.
The ladies are best friends and live next to each other. They love their close bond. Anne wears white gloves and stylish sunglasses while driving two boys
“When this bond is broken, it calls into question conventional morality and even reason.”
“In the closed-door atmosphere of 1960s America, Mothers' Instinct becomes a terrifying, high-pressure powder keg,” the director concluded.
This project marks the first time that Hathaway and Chastain have both appeared in the same film since their starring role in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar in 2014.
Both can be seen in historical costumes.
But when tragedy strikes their close-knit community, everyone panics. Suspicions arise about a death. The friendship between the two women suffers from grief
Anne's brunette hair was perfectly coiffed as she often wears stylish white gloves and matching sunglasses.
In addition to a bright red lipstick, Hathaway opts for an otherwise natural make-up look, consisting of foundation, blush and bronzer.
Meanwhile, Chastain loves her pearl earrings, a white handbag and heels.
For the film, she swapped her signature red locks for a blonde wig styled in a sophisticated updo.
Anne and Jessica were seen side by side in Beverly Hills in 2019
