The Extraordinary Miss Flower
A treasure trove of love letters provides the jumping off point for this vibrant and experimental exploration of a life, featuring music by Icelandic singer-songwriter Emilíana Torrini.
A treasure trove of secret love letters provides the inspiration for this stylish and experimental celebration of a life. Geraldine Flower’s correspondence was discovered by her family after her death and revealed a wealth of suitors and friends from around the globe, not to mention potential espionage. Icelandic singer-songwriter Emilíana Torrini drew on the correspondence for an album, which threads through this evocative and enigmatic film as Geraldine (Caroline Catz) looks back at her life and loves. The supporting cast includes Nick Cave - who previously worked with directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard on 20,000 Days on Earth - and Richard Ayoade.
