Take Shelter

Curtis LaForche works in construction in LaGrange, a small town in Ohio, and lives with his wife, Samantha, and their deaf daughter. On the surface he is a stable, loving man, but he begins to suffer apocalyptic dreams and hallucinations that he shares with no one. He channels these anxieties obsessively: he sets about expanding and improving a storm shelter in the backyard of his home, while his behavior grows increasingly strange in the eyes of those around him. Curtis wants to protect his family, but he doesn't know whether the threat comes from the sky or from his own mind. Michael Shannon stars in this film directed by Jeff Nichols, alongside Jessica Chastain.
