Be one of the first to witness Sebastian Stan's 'commanding' (Time Out) portrayal of Donald Trump in the HUGELY buzzworthy biopic, The Apprentice, at a Fine Wine Preview.
This preview event includes a complimentary glass of wine on arrival!
After making a major splash at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, multi-award-winning, Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi's scandalous portrait of a young Trump brings a searing exploration of the underbelly of the American empire to the big screen. Following his 2018 Oscar nominated, Cannes award-winner, Border, and the 2022 critically acclaimed chilling thriller, Holy Spider, Abbasi delivers a sharp, timely story aided by masterful lead performances.
1970s New York. Determined to emerge from his powerful father’s shadow and make himself in Manhattan real estate, aspiring mogul Donald J. Trump (Emmy nominee Sebastian Stan) is in the earliest days of his career when he encounters the man who will become one of the most important figures in his life, political fixer Roy Cohn (Succession's Emmy-winning Jeremy Strong in an awards-worthy performance). Seeing promise in young Donald, the influential right-wing attorney—who secured espionage convictions against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and investigated suspected Communists alongside Senator Joseph McCarthy—teaches his new acolyte how to amass wealth and power through deception, intimidation and media manipulation. The rest is history.
An 'excellent' Stan 'captures the essence of [Trump]' (Hollywood Reporter) alongside Strong as an 'utterly believable Cohn' (The London Evening Standard) in the gripping examination of the mentor-protégé relationship that would ultimately change the world. The brutally arresting feature also stars Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova, Martin Donovan and Catherine McNally, with a script from Gabriel Sherman, author of the New York Times best-selling biography of Fox News founder Roger Ailes, The Loudest Voice in the Room.
