The first official international trailer for "The Chronology of Water" was released Wednesday [1].
The film marks the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart, signaling her transition into filmmaking with a project focused on biographical drama and recovery.
Released by the French company Les Films du Losange, the trailer introduces a story adapted from the memoir of Lidia Yuknavitch [1, 4]. The narrative centers on themes of trauma and healing, featuring Imogen Poots in the lead role [1, 2].
The production involved nine producers [5]. While the cast includes Imogen Poots, Thora Birch, Earl Cave, and Tom Sturridge [6], reports differ on other appearances. Some sources indicate that Kim Gordon and Jim Belushi appear in the trailer, though other reports do not list them [2, 6].
Stewart's move behind the camera follows her established career as an actress and producer. The film is categorized as a trauma-recovery drama [5]. Although the trailer is now rolling out internationally, some industry listings associate the film with the year 2025 [2].
The international rollout aims to build momentum for the film's release, highlighting Stewart's vision for Yuknavitch's literary work [1, 4].
“The film marks the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart”
The release of this trailer indicates a strategic international push for Stewart's first feature film. By adapting a memoir focused on trauma, Stewart is positioning herself within the realm of prestige indie cinema, moving away from mainstream blockbuster roles toward more experimental, character-driven storytelling.
