Acclaimed director François Ozon's (Swimming Pool, 8 Women) first English language feature has been selected as closing film at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival, and will screen in the festival's official competition. The story of a destitute-but-determined young woman living in turn-of-the-century England who ascends the social ranks after authoring a series of successful romantic novels.

A dreary city tenement provides backdrop to this tale of exclusion and the magic it takes to become accepted.

Theatrical report

I don't know why François Ozon wrote this film because the story is pretty much the same as that of real authoresses of the time (see above) only this version is more dramatic (fiction being mostly more insane than real life) and more artistic. You'll enjoy it but only in the fictional sense. And the whole costume pageantry thing.

The drama movie Angel is directed by François Ozon and stars Romola Garai, Charlotte Rampling, Lucy Russell.
