TYPIST ARTIST PIRATE KING
DRAMA | ENGLISH | 106 min
TYPIST ARTIST PIRATE KING puts forgotten artist Audrey Amiss on the map. Inspired by her extensive archive of diaries, letters and art, the film weaves real events into an imagined journey as Audrey goes on a road trip with her psychiatric nurse.
From acclaimed British filmmaker, Carol Morley, this dark and funny exploration of the growing friendship between two women as they hit the road in an electric car looking for reconciliation, is filled with adventure, humour and compassion.
Executive produced by Jane Campion and starring Kelly Macdonald (Trainspotting, Elizabeth, Gosford Park), Gina McKee (Our Friends In The North, Notting Hill, Phantom Thread, My Policeman) and Monica Dolan (Empire of Light, Cyrano, Appropriate Adult).
