Vita and Virginia (12A)
Dir. Chanya Button, UK, 2018, 110 mins.
Cast. Gemma Arterton, Elizabeth Debicki, Isabella Rossellini, Rupert Penry-Jones.
Catch up on one of the great summer films you may have missed. The legendary literary love affair (between trailblazing author Virginia Woolf and enigmatic aristocrat Vita Sackville-West) that inspired Orlando is gorgeously brought to life in this exquisite drama. It's 1922, and though happily married, Vita is notorious for her romances with women and boundary-pushing attitudes towards gender norms. At one of the Bloomsbury set's epic parties, her path crosses with the gifted writer Virginia Woolf. Vita and Virginia tells the story of two women who smashed through social barriers to find solace in their forbidden connection.
