Plot:

I ORIGINS, the second feature film from writer and director Mike Cahill, tells the story of Dr. Ian Gray (Michael Pitt), a molecular biologist studying the evolution of the eye. He finds his work permeating his life after a brief encounter with an exotic young woman (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey) who slips away from him. As his research continues years later with his lab partner Karen (Brit Marling), they make a stunning scientific discovery that has far reaching implications and complicates both his*scientific and spiritual beliefs. Traveling half way around the world, he risks everything he has ever known to validate his theory.


I am a huge fan of the filmmaker's last film, the 2011 gem “Another Earth.” I'm also a fan of that film's star, Brit Marling, who is also in this. Was highly impressed by the trailer. Looks to be another thought-provoking winner.


Opens July 18th.
