Fan favorite director Luca Guadagnino has a new release out this month called After the Hunt, featuring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield, Ayo Edebiri, and Michael Stuhlbarg.

When she is met with confusion and doubt, she finds it wise to further report the incident, ultimately leading to the firing of the professor (Garfield).
