We have come to expect several things from director Juan Antonio Bayona, thanks to a lengthy filmography that includes The Orphanage and The Impossible. First, there is the sumptuous visual style – rich, earthy tones, juxtaposed with stark, bleak settings. Second, and most affecting, is the immediacy of the connection with the audience – the viewer being taken by the hand and lured into a whirlpool of deepening emotion. These are the aspects of storytelling at which Bayona excels, and these are the aspects that leap from the new trailer for his latest film, A Monster Calls.
