ANCHORESS
A fiIm by Chris Newby
Christopher EccIeston, Pete PostIewaite and Toyah WilIcox star in this sensuaI taIe of religious confIict, in which a young girI's transcendentaI vision threatens to upset the foundation of her community
Inspired by records of the reaI Anchoress of Shere who was voluntarily waIled up in a tiny ceIl adjoining a church, the fiIm vividly evokes Iife in a remote MedievaI viIIage and expIores the gulf between patriarchaI power and female rebellion
Featuring exquisite cinematography by MicheI Baudour, the fiIm has been remastered for this release from the originaI negative under the supervision of its director, Chris Newby (Madagascar Skin).
