‘Saturn Return,’ Director Greg Kwedar
In astrology, a Saturn return is the planet’s roughly 29-year homecoming to its natal position — the cosmic deadline for growing up.
Greg Kwedar’s follow-up to Train Dreams is a Chicago-set romance spanning the decade between college love and the complicated realities of adulthood.
It is told across two timelines as former best friends Eve, Anders and Nathan reunite as virtual strangers at a funeral, with the film tracing “what was lost in between and what can still be found.”
Charles Melton, Rachel Brosnahan and Will Poulter lead, with David Morse, Kim Dickens and Jean Yoon in supporting parts.
Gaelyn Golde wrote the script, revised by Kwedar and his Train Dreams partner Clint Bentley, and Plan B produces for Netflix.
Plan B’s awards pedigree and Charles Melton (May December) rising star power make Venice a natural launch pad, with Toronto a potential fallback.
