Next up on Metrograph’s slate is the extraordinary debut feature from Julien Colonna, The Kingdom.
Set against the rugged backdrop of Corsica, the film follows a sheltered young woman forced to reunite with her estranged father—an exiled mob boss—after an assassination attempt shakes their world. As they flee into the shadows of his criminal past, a fragile bond begins to form between them, setting the stage for one of the most striking mob thrillers in recent memory.
The newly released trailer is loaded with tension and atmosphere, offering a glimpse at a film that’s already drawing comparisons to The Godfather for its tone and emotional weight. A standout debut to watch closely, The Kingdom promises to leave a mark when it arrives.
On the pale, sun soaked island of Corsica in the summer of 1995, the teenage Lesia is plucked from her sheltered life, and taken to a remote villa where her fugitive mob boss father, Pierre-Paul, is hiding out. Pierre Paul is a menacing figure, a near stranger to Lesia, and at first she feels trapped by the secrecy and danger which defines his life. But when an assassination attempt sets a chain of bloody vendettas in motion, Lesia and Paul-Pierre are forced to go on the run together. As they flee, Lesia becomes closer than ever with her father, and as they wade together through the violent underworld which he is entrenched in, his devotion to revenge begins to rub off on her. The Kingdom is a story of blood: blood split, blood sought, and the blood which binds us.
