Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis has come out of retirement for a new film, Anemone, set to premiere at the New York Film Festival. The project marks his return to acting eight years after announcing his retirement.
The film is written and directed by Ronan Day-Lewis, Daniel’s son, and follows a middle-aged man who embarks on a journey into the woods to reconnect with his estranged hermit brother, played by Daniel Day-Lewis. The story explores themes of family drama, violence, and redemption set against the backdrop of Northern England.
Daniel Day-Lewis had previously announced his retirement from acting in 2017, stating he would no longer be working as an actor due to a compulsion to quit. However, it appears he has reconsidered, citing a desire to believe in the value of his work and avoid being sucked back into another project.
Anemone boasts standout performances from its cast, including Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, and Samuel Bottomley, with critics praising the film’s unflinching lead performances and grand gestures. The film is set to be an emotional powerhouse, charting a path toward familial redemption against all odds.
