A brand-new clip for Coup!, a satire film starring Peter Sarsgaard has been released. Coup! is set to screen at the 2023 Venice Days on September 9, which is the festival’s last day. The movie tells the story of a journalist and his wife in the early 1900s who hire a cook (Sarsgaard) who may not be who he seems to be. In addition to Sarsgaard, Coup! stars Billy Magnussen and Sarah Gadon.
In the new clip shared by Deadline, Gadon’s character announces that the household is in need of food. When Sarsgaard’s cook says “No one is expecting you to hunt” to Magnussen’s character, the latter decides to do just that. While Magnussen’s character is searching for food, he happens upon a deer and has trouble pulling the trigger. Soon, Sarsgaard’s character appears and shoots the deer, doing his boss’s duty for him.
Coup! is written and directed by Austin Stark and Joseph Schuman. This film is Schuman’s feature directorial debut, while Stark has helmed the films The Runner and The God Committee. Coup! is set during the 1918 Spanish Flu, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, Schuman discussed the parallels between the Spanish Flu outbreak and the COVID-19 Pandemic. “These broad scale emergencies have a way of betraying the fault lines of the class system, which was deeply appealing to us to write about,” Schuman said. On the setting and time period of the film, Stark said, “It was a time where New Yorkers with means were just fleeing, whether it was to The Hamptons or upstate New York or to farms in Pennsylvania.”
