Jonathan Rhys Meyers in Trailer for Venice Mystery 'The Aspern Papers'

“Don’t try to pay me any compliments. I have been spoiled in this respect…” Cohen Media has debuted an official trailer for an indie romantic drama-mystery titled The Aspern Papers, set in Venice, adapted from Henry James’s 1888 novella of the same name. The story is about a passionate young writer who tries to obtain romance letters a poet sent to his mistress. He travels out to Venice and meets a suspicious elderly woman along with her quiet niece in their grand but dilapidated palazzo. Starring Vanessa Redgrave as Juliana, along with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Joely Richardson, Poppy Delevingne, Lois Robbins, Jon Kortajarena, and Morgane Polanski. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival earlier this fall, but I don’t recall hearing much buzz – good or bad – about this film during the festival or afterward. This looks like a sultry, seductive Venetian thriller in the vein of classic romance that might entice a few viewers. ›››
