This film marks the start of a fruitful and on-going partnership between director Yorgos Lanthimos and actress Emma Stone. Before Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness, and this fall’s upcoming Bugonia, the duo takes us back to England, early 18th century. The close relationship between Queen Anne and Sarah Churchill is threatened by the arrival of Sarah’s cousin, Abigail Hill, resulting in a bitter rivalry between the two cousins to be the Queen’s favourite.

Screening September 14 + 24

“The comedy is elegant, frequently dark and genuinely witty. The spectacle is gorgeous. The revisionism is gleeful—this is early 18th- century English history served sizzling hot.” ~ Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
