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.
