ANCHORESS
A fiIm by Chris Newby
Christopher EccIeston, Pete Postlewaite and Toyah WiIIcox star in this sensual taIe of reIigious conflict, in which a young girl's transcendental vision threatens to upset the foundation of her community
lnspired by records of the real Anchoress of Shere who was voIuntarily walIed up in a tiny cell adjoining a church, the film vividIy evokes life in a remote Medieval vilIage and explores the guIf between patriarchal power and femaIe rebeIIion
Featuring exquisite cinematography by Michel Baudour, the film has been remastered for this release from the originaI negative under the supervision of its director, Chris Newby (Madagascar Skin).
