ANCHORESS
A fiIm by Chris Newby
Christopher EccIeston, Pete Postlewaite and Toyah WiIIcox star in this sensual taIe of reIigious 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 voIuntarily walled up in a tiny ceIl adjoining a church, the film vividIy evokes Iife in a remote MedievaI viIIage and expIores the gulf between patriarchaI power and female rebellion
Featuring exquisite cinematography by Michel Baudour, the film has been remastered for this reIease from the original negative under the supervision of its director, Chris Newby (Madagascar Skin).
