Written with Maggie O'Farrell, based on her novel. And an interesting change of pace for Zhao, whose previous two films were very naturalistic; a departure also in that she's no longer (working) with her DP/ partner Joshua James Richards. This is shot in the lowest light imaginable by Lukasz Zal, who we know from Pawel Pawlikowski's Cold War and Ida, and The Zone of Interest.
Max Richter provides the score (L'Amica Geniale, Taboo, Miss Sloane, The Lunchbox). Beautifully designed by Fiona Cromble. Edited by Zhao and Affonso Goncalves
Looking at the production video is was indeed a happy set, with actors dancing between emotional scenes, Zhao acting as stand-in mother to young cast - Bodhi Rae Breathnach, Olivia Lynes and Jacobi Jupe - who's amazing. As is Jessie Buckley, who found under Zhao's direction she was capable of even more than she thought possible - and won all the awards.
With Paul Mescal, Emily Mortimer, David Wilmot, Joe Alwyn, Noah Jupe (Hamlet, brother of Jacobi).
"The rest is silence."
