There has already been some awards chatter around Natalie Portman and her performance as Jackie Kennedy in Pablo Larraín's Jackie. Now we get a taste of what the attention is all about with the teaser trailer.

Set in the days immediately following President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963, it follows Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy as she deals with the aftermath of the tragedy. Known for her extraordinary dignity and poise, this presents a psychological portrait of the First Lady as she struggles to maintain her husband’s legacy and the world of "Camelot" that they created and loved so well.

Flashing back to her time at the White House as well as the shell-shocked time after the assassination, Jackie promises a real look at a complicated woman.
