Trailer Watch: “American Honey” Wants You to “Dream Baby Dream”

“American Honey”: A24

A new trailer for Andrea Arnold’s “American Honey” has been released, and it features Bruce Springsteen’s “Dream Baby Dream” and new voiceover narration describing the film’s mood.

“American Honey” stars newcomer Sasha Lane as a young runaway who teams up with a group of rowdy traveling magazine sales-kids who scour the American heartland all day to make a buck just to party all night.

The film took home the Jury Prize at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, the main competition’s third most prestigious award. The win marked Arnold’s third Cannes Jury Prize win: she took it home in 2009 for “Fish Tank” and in 2006 for “Red Road.” Arnold won an Academy Award for her short film “Wasp” in 2005.

A number of critics have compared “American Honey” to Larry Clark’s “Kids,” noting their shared examination of troubled youth and adolescent issues.

The film will screen at TIFF in September. No official release date has been set, but distributor A24 has said it will hit theaters later in 2016.
