One of the most anticipated movies of 2023 unfolds at a first glance. Warner Bros. airs this Friday a humorous teaser of Barbie, in which actress Margot Robbie lends her features to the famous doll. One minute of hilarious images between endless legs, glamorous silhouette and apocalyptic scene.
The teaser begins with a desert landscape where a group of little girls play with dolls. “Since the dawn of time, since the first girl in history, dolls have existed,” says a voiceover. The music of the credits 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick- begins to play, as the story continues:
“But these dolls were, over and over again, infants,” we hear as the girls serve their plastic babies tea. “Until the day that…”
Then Margot Robbie appears, several meters tall, while the epic music of Richard Strauss is in full swing. Little girls approach this new type of doll as an icon and, immediately fascinated, break their old dolls to pieces by crushing them together. Follow a series of images from the film -we see in particular Ryan Gosling, who will play Ken- and the release date in the United States, July 21 (19 in France).
A mysterious film that “will go out of the frame”
Barbie is directed by the actress and filmmaker Greta Gerwig, the new face of American alternative cinema (Frances has, lady bird, The Daughters of Doctor March). The secret is still well kept regarding the setting of this first film in real shots about this doll created in 1959 by Mattel.
Margot Robbie had promised in 2020 in the columns of hollywood reporter that Barbie it would be nothing like what one would expect. “We like things that go a little out of the box,” she said. “Our goal is that no matter what you are thinking, we will give you something completely different. What you never expected.”
