Hollywood stars Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell team up in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, a movie filled with magical realism and timeless romance. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kogonada (Pachinko, After Yang), the film premieres in theaters on September 19.
“Originality is something you’ve never seen before. For me, this script felt unique—it searches for universal truths while confronting our past. That’s exactly what you want in a film: to be surprised by a world and its characters.”
— Kogonada, director of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey
A Love Story Across Time
The story follows Sarah (Robbie) and David (Farrell), two strangers who meet at a friend’s wedding. A twist of fate leads them on an extraordinary adventure: reliving defining moments from their pasts. As they journey together, they discover how these experiences shaped who they are—and how revisiting them might change their futures.
Margot Robbie describes it as “romantic but with magical realism—imagine meeting someone you deeply like, then having to face your best and worst life moments with them at your side.”
On-Screen Chemistry
Kogonada praised his leads’ connection:
“Their chemistry was electric. It wasn’t just romance—it was genuinely fun to watch them together, like a perfectly synchronized dance couple.”
Even behind the camera, the magic continued. Colin Farrell revealed that filming this project gave him “one of the best days I’ve had on a movie set in 25 years.”
Visual Poetry & Soundtrack
Known for his cinematic style, Kogonada crafts each frame with purpose. Farrell called him “an incredible creator of cinematic images—the way he frames shots, composes colors, everything feels intentional.”
The film combines romance, drama, musical elements, and fantasy, all wrapped in magical realism. The original score comes from legendary composer Joe Hisaishi (Studio Ghibli), adding emotional depth to this journey.

Alongside Robbie and Farrell, the cast includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Kevin Kline, Billy Magnussen, Hamish Linklater, Lily Rabe, and others. Written by Seth Reiss, the film explores themes of loneliness, second chances, and the weight of our choices.
