A landmark in independent and gay filmmaking, Lisa Cholodenko’s multi award-winner High Art is a superbly constructed erotic drama which charts the tempestuous romantic entanglements between
three women.
Forty-year-old photographer, Lucy (Ally Sheedy, in an award winning performance) and her German girlfriend Greta (Patricia Clarkson - Vicky Cristina Barcelona) are embroiled in a drug-fuelled affair.
When Lucy’s neighbour, the seemingly innocent 24-year-old blonde Syd (Radha Mitchell - Finding Neverland, Phone Booth) enters into their lives, their world changes forever.
High Art paints a startlingly real picture of an all-consuming bond between women, and the effect the haze of drugs and scourge of infidelity can have on that connection. A cinematic triumph that transcends any simple ‘lesbian’ tag.
High Art is released 13th July.
