Kristen Stewart Assists an Insecure Juliette Binoche in ‘Clouds of Sils Maria’ Debut Trailer (Video)

Chloe Grace Moretz also stars as a threatening young actress

Juliette Binoche is an aging actress threatened by Chloe Grace Moretz‘s youthful confidence in the first trailer for Olivier Assayas‘ upcoming film “Clouds of Sils Maria.”

Binoche plays Maria Enders, an accomplished and successful actress with a devoted personal assistant, Valentine (Kristen Stewart). When Enders accepts a role in the play that made her famous, this time in the role of the “older woman,” she clashes — personally and professionally — with the play’s new young star, Jo-Ann Ellis (Moretz). Enders is forced to confront her own insecurities and sense of aging as she tries to rein in her seething jealousy toward Ellis.

The film addresses a number of themes including aging, jealously and sexuality. (Is that Stewart in a thong at the trailer’s 1:03 mark?)

“Clouds of Sils Maria,” an IFC Film, also stars Brady Corbet, Johnny Flynn and Hans Zischler. The film will debut at Cannes May 23 and will get a limited theater release December 1.
