The new film by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard (20,000 Days on Earth), tells the story of Geraldine Flower, whose vast trove of letters from the '60s and '70s details a fascinating life.
The Extraordinary Miss Flower brings to life the remarkable story of Geraldine Flower and the discovery of a suitcase full of passionate, heartfelt letters of love sent to her in the '60s and '70s that inspired acclaimed Icelandic singer/songwriter Emilíana Torrini to return to the studio and record an entire album of new songs.
Part film, part theatre, part fever dream, The Extraordinary Miss Flower takes the form of a series of specially designed performances by Emilíana and her band, combined with dramatic scenes and readings from the letters by well-known actors and musicians. It is a collaborative and captivating creative response to an incredible story.
As well as performing ten songs, Emilíana Torrini acts for the first time — alongside Caroline Catz as ‘Miss Flower’. The film also features Nick Cave, Richard Ayoade, Alice Lowe, Siggi Baldursson, Mark Monero, Niall Murphy and Angus Sampson in supporting roles, plus the voice of singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Choreographer Kate Coyne performs alongside Viva Seifert and Saeed Esmaeli. The band is Simon Byrt, Mara Carlyle, Liam Hutton, Ian Kellett and Lovisa Sigrunardottir.
"...The Extraordinary Miss Flower is a real pleasure: luxuriant like a good glass of red wine." The Guardian
