The Ice Tower

The 1970s.  Runaway Jeanne (Clara Pacini) falls under the spell of Cristina (Marion Cotillard), enigmatic star of The Snow Queen, a film of the Hans Christian Andersen story being shot in the studio where Jeanne has taken refuge.  A mutual but potentially dangerous fascination begins to grow between the actress and the girl.  A richly textured and deeply moving story of longing and solitude, this is a dark and mesmerising modern fairy tale. Berlin Film Festival Silver Bear award winner.  Directed by Lucile Hadžihalilović.

A mesmeric melodrama....had me gripped with its two outstanding lead performances -
