Tartt’s tale of childhood trauma follows 13-year-old Theo Decker, who survives a terrorist attack at an art gallery in which his mother is killed. Stumbling through the debris after the bomb blast, he picks up a Dutch Golden Age painting called “The Goldfinch”, his one source of comfort as he descends into a life of crime. A trailer for director John Crowley’s adaptation, released yesterday, offers a glimpse of the heart-wrenching, tear-jerking production, set to a hauntingly beautiful pop-requiem from Seattle artist Perfume Genius. “When I lost her,” Theo says in the trailer, “I lost sight of any landmark that might have led me some place happier.” Flashing forward to his later life we see Theo struggling with drug addiction and haunted by images of his dead mother and the painting he salvaged from the rubble of the art gallery blast when he was a child: “In Amsterdam, I dreamt I saw my mother again. Same beautiful, pale blue eyes,” he says. Finn Wolfhard plays Boris, a wealthy son of a Ukrainian immigrant, who befriends Theo and helps him deal with his trauma. The film is set for release September 13 and you can watch the full trailer below.
