British label Eureka Entertainment has provided us with an exclusive new trailer for its upcoming Blu-ray release of John Carroll Lynch's film Lucky (2017), starring Harry Dean Stanton, David Lynch, Ron Livingston, Ed Begley Jr., and Tom Skerritt. The release will be available for purchase on November 12.
Lucky follows the spiritual journey of Harry Dean Stanton's character 'Lucky' a cantankerous, self-reliant 90 year old atheist and the quirky characters that inhabit the Arizona town where he lives. Having out-lived and out-smoked all of his contemporaries, the fiercely independent Lucky finds himself at the precipice of life, thrust into a journey of self-exploration, leading towards that which is so often unattainable: enlightenment.
It is the directorial debut from John Carroll Lynch, an in-demand character actor who has played roles in the likes of Fargo and Zodiac. The cast also features director David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet), Ron Livingston (The Conjuring, Swingers, Office Space), Ed Begley Jr. (St. Elsewhere), and Tom Skerritt (Alien, Top Gun, Contact).
Lucky has received rave reviews following its US release just days after his death at age 91, including Variety's Joe Leydon who described the film as "an unassumingly wonderful little film about nothing in particular and everything that's important."
Lucky, premiered in the UK at the BFI London Film Festival 2017 and has since screened in Scotland at the Glasgow Film Festival 2018, and will be released by Eureka Entertainment in cinemas nationwide (UK & Ireland) later this year, ahead of a home video release. More details to follow over the coming weeks.
