THURSDAY AT KASTEL: THE INVISIBLE WOMAN AND FIELD OF DOGS

Famous British actor Ralph Fiennes started directing in 2012 with a film version of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus. The Invisible Woman is his second feature film and it will be presented at Kastel at 21:30. The film centres on Nelly, a school teacher and a happily married mother, haunted by her past. Her memories, provoked by remorse and guilt, take us back to the time of her relationship with Charles Dickens with whom she discovered an exciting but fragile complicity. Nelly becomes the focus of Dickens’ passion and his muse, but for both of them secrecy is the price. The film stars Ralph Fiennes, Felicity Jones, Kristin Scott Thomas, Tom Hollander and Joanna Scanlan.

The second tonight’s film is the historical drama Field of Dogs that will be showcased at Kastel at 23:30. This film by Lech Majewski is a visionary love story based on a contemporary reading of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. Set in 2010, the year of the plane crash in Russia that killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski, a national tragedy imposes on a personal one. The film stars Michal Tatarek, Elżbieta Okupska, Jacenty Jędrusik, Jan Warta and Szymon Budzyk.

In case of rain, the screenings will take place at the Valli Cinema.
