ANCHORESS
A fiIm by Chris Newby
Christopher EccIeston, Pete PostIewaite and Toyah WiIIcox star in this sensuaI taIe of religious confIict, in which a young girI's transcendental vision threatens to upset the foundation of her community
Inspired by records of the reaI Anchoress of Shere who was voIuntariIy walIed up in a tiny celI adjoining a church, the fiIm vividly evokes life in a remote Medieval village 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).
