Brian De Palma’s Passion, set to debut at the Cannes Film Festival, looks absolutely steamy. The first image from the movie was revealed this week, and understandably it involves castmates Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace on the verge of making out. (It is a film tease, after all.) The movie is an erotic thriller set in the world of international finance, with money- and power-hungry Christine (McAdams) playing games with her innocent, lovely and easily exploited protégé Isabelle (Rapace). Of course, while a film about seduction, manipulation, dominance and humiliation would be good on its own, there’s also the addition of a murder plot to look forward to. Could it be? A film sexier than this summer’s Cosmopolis?
