Film
The Lost Daughter (15)
Dir. Maggie Gyllenhaal, 2021, USA/Greece, 121 mins. Cast. Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson, Peter Sarsgaard, Jessie Buckley.
A sensual and subversive directorial debut by Maggie Gyllenhaal adapts the 2006 novel on motherhood gone astray by Elena Ferrante. Leda is a professor on a solo summer holiday who becomes intrigued and then later oddly involved in the lives of a brash American family she meets there. Colman brilliantly embodies this quietly tempestuous character and the more obsessively she reacts to others, the more she is haunted by the ghosts of her own past as she slowly but surely loses control. A moving, sometimes unsettling inquiry into motherhood and personal freedom, it features an outstanding cast and is sure to be a contender for the upcoming awards season.
The screening on Tuesday 18th is a special Reclaim The Frame screening which includes a pre-recorded introduction of 8 mins with writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal.
The mission of Reclaim the Frame is to re-tell the story of cinema by drawing ever greater audiences to films by women & non-binary creatives, re-claiming cinema as a truer reflection of the world we live in.
