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 film takes the form of a series of specially designed performances of these songs by Emilíana and her band, combined with dramatic scenes and readings from the letters by well-known actors and musicians (including Caroline Catz, Nick Cave, Alice Lowe and Richard Ayoade).
"The Extraordinary Miss Flower is a real pleasure: luxuriant like a good glass of red wine", The Guardian.
Thursday morning screenings will include subtitles wherever possible, and a free hot drink with your ticket (all Thursday morning tickets are concession rate or under 21s rate)
