Ari Aster's 'Beau Is Afraid': Scary, Funny, and Weird with Joaquin Phoenix.

Emma Stone moderated a surprise screening of Ari Aster's new film "Beau Is Afraid," starring Joaquin Phoenix as a man on a deranged odyssey to reunite with his mother. The existential epic blends Freud, Kafka, and Charlie Kaufman, along with Aster's signature touch for rotted-to-the-core family dynamics. The stacked cast includes Amy Ryan, Nathan Lane, and Parker Posey, and Aster said it "was mostly first choices." "Beau Is Afraid" opens in New York and Los Angeles on April 14, followed by theaters everywhere on A24.
