Through tears, Molly (Elle Fanning) searches the eyes of her father, Leo (Javier Bardem), but he’s simply too far away, as distant as castaway wandering some distant dark shoreline. It’s an especially evocative moment in the just-released trailer for Bleeker Street’s The Roads Not Taken, the latest drama from writer-director Sally Potter. “No matter how far away you go,” the anguished daughter says, “you were always you.”
It’s an especially evocative moment in a existential road trip that premieres at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival (which gets underway February 20) and opens in the U.S. on March 13. The R-rated drama takes its title from Robert Frost’s near-namesake poem, The Road Not Taken. Like Frost’s 1916 expedition through the dense woods of yearning regret, the Potter film roams the treacherous expanse that lies between the life that Leo has lived and the life that Leo could have lived. The movie takes place in a single day (although Leo, with his fractured perceptions of time and place, might say otherwise) and looks to feature a strong core ensemble with Laura Linney, Salma Hayek, Branka Katic, and Milena Tscharntke.
The official synopsis: “Sally Potter’s The Roads Not Taken follows a day in the life of Leo (Javier Bardem) and his daughter, Molly (Elle Fanning) as she grapples with the challenges of her father’s chaotic mind. As they weave their way through New York City, Leo’s journey takes on a hallucinatory quality as he floats through alternate lives he could have lived, leading Molly to wrestle with her own path as she considers her future.” [Source]

Focus has pre-bought a handful of key international territories on Sally Potter (The Party) feature Molly, starring Elle Fanning, Javier Bardem, Chris Rock, Laura Linney and Salma Hayek.
Universal Pictures International will release the film for Focus next year in a collection of territories we understand includes UK, France, Germany, Italy and Australia/NZ. Bleecker Street has U.S. rights.
HanWay Films handles international sales and has all-but sold out on the film. Additional deals have closed with Sun Diamond for Latin America and Spain, Volga for CIS and Baltics, Hakuhodo for Japan, Film Coopi for Switzerland, Odeon for Greece, Fabula for Turkey, Discovery for Ex-Yugoslavia, Shoval for Israel, Front Row for Middle East and Shaw for Singapore.
The film will chart a wild day in the life of a man (Bardem) on the edge, held together by the unconditional love of his daughter (Fanning). Bardem’s character has several parallel lives: a passionate marriage with his childhood sweetheart Dolores (Hayek) in Mexico; a struggling career as a drummer in Manhattan with his more successful lover, Adam (Rock); and a life of solitude on a remote Greek island, where a chance encounter with two young tourists unmasks some uncomfortable truths.
Currently in post-production, the movie shot in Spain and New York.
Potter’s long-time producing partner Christopher Sheppard made the film through banner Adventure Pictures. It was co-developed by BBC Films and the BFI and was funded by HanWay Films, Bleecker Street, Ingenious Media, BBC Films, the BFI, Chimney Pot Sverige AB and Film i Väst.
