Leeds
Film News // Rose Glass's riveting psychological horror Saint Maud +
LIFF 2020 Shorts Selection announced...
|
|
Rose
Glass's debut Saint Maud
is a
riveting psychological horror
Maud is
a live-in nurse who arrives for a new assignment haunted by personal
demons. The austere, religious young woman is caring for Amanda, once a
famous dancer now suffering from terminal illness. At first the two are
bewitched with one another, before Maud's religious piety and Amanda's
hedonism gradually come to odds.
Morfydd Clark's brilliant performance as Maud
and the film's atmospheric Scarborough setting both help make Saint Maud a
riveting viewing experience. The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey calls
writer and director Rose Glass's debut feature 'a magnificent
slow-burner, a portrait of a woman headed toward an apocalypse of the self'
in her 5-star review.
Screening
at Everyman Leeds, Vue Kirkstall and The Light, Odeon Leeds-Bradford,
Showcase Cinema de Lux Leeds and more from today. Find a screening |
