Oscar-winner Tilda Swinton, Oscar-nominee Ralph Fiennes, and up-and-comers Dakota Johnson and Matthias Schoenaerts compose the core of the cast for director Luca Guadagnino's latest film, A Bigger Splash. In this first trailer, we meet Swinton and Schoenaerts's characters: a famous rock star and a filmmaker, who are vacationing (and recovering) together on the remote Italian island of Pantelleria. Their idyllic getaway is soon disrupted when an old friend (Fiennes) and his daughter (Johnson) appear.

The film's synopsis promises "a whirlwind of jealousy, passion and, ultimately, danger for everyone involved", and you certainly get the sense of that in this new trailer. The sheer amount of talent on screen should be enough to capture your attention, if not the reimagining of the classic plot seen in Jacques Deray's La Piscine/The Swimming Pool and Jean Renoir's La Règle du Jeu/The Rules of the Game, which Guadagnino referenced in a chat with Cineuropa. Look for the film to open in U.S. theaters on May 13, 2016.
