THE FAVOURITE, 2018
THE FAVOURITE, 2018
Ireland, UK, USA | DCP, Color, 120' | English
Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Cast: Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz
Sarah, the Duchess of Marlborough, is preoccupied with ruling Great Britain on behalf of Queen Anne, who is in poor health, during the 1700s war with France. Abigail arrives as a servant, but she manages to win the Queen’s sympathy. As a result, the rivalry between the two women ensues. The tragicomic story of these three women, portrayed by talented actresses, was nominated for ten Oscars. The film’s production designer, Fiona Crombie, utilized secret passages and an enormous façade to transform a 17th-century country house into a palace.
Inspired by the women artists in the exhibition "Always Here", Istanbul Modern Cinema continues its "Mind the Gap" project, which aims to raise awareness about gender inequality in the film industry. The focus of the new event will be on production design and art direction, in which the lack of women is felt severely in the film industry.
