The Beguiled is a 2017 American Southern Gothic thriller film written and directed by Sofia Coppola, based on the 1966 novel of the same name (originally published as A Painted Devil) by Thomas P. Cullinan. It stars Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning. It is the second film adaptation of Cullinan's novel, following Don Siegel's 1971 film of the same name.
It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 24, 2017,[4] and was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or in its main competition section,[5][6] where Coppola won the Best Director award, becoming only the second woman (after 1961 winner Yuliya Solntseva) to do so.[7] The film was released theatrically in the United States on June 23, 2017, by Focus Features.
