ANCHORESS
A film by Chris Newby
Christopher Eccleston, Pete Postlewaite and Toyah WiIlcox star in this sensual tale of reIigious conflict, in which a young girl's transcendental vision threatens to upset the foundation of her community
lnspired by records of the real Anchoress of Shere who was voIuntariIy walIed up in a tiny celI adjoining a church, the fiIm vividly evokes life in a remote Medieval viIlage and explores the guIf between patriarchal power and femaIe rebeIIion
Featuring exquisite cinematography by MicheI Baudour, the fiIm has been remastered for this reIease from the original negative under the supervision of its director, Chris Newby (Madagascar Skin).
