About this Event
A whimsical film based on the 2016 graphic novel, which is in turn nominally based on the tale of Scheherazade and her One Thousand and One Nights. Once upon a time in a fairytale kingdom, Cherry is married to Jerome, but the couple have yet to conceive an heir, displeasing the rulers of their patriarchal society. When Jerome absconds, leaving Cherry in the company of a handsome young friend who has vowed to seduce her, Cherry’s troubles look set to worsen. But Hero, Cherry’s cunning and loyal maid (The Crown’s Emma Corrin) concocts a plan, telling captivating stories night after night about rebellious women who refuse to follow the rules of their society. Gender, sexuality, status and power are all in flux amongst Julia Jackman’s dreamlike medieval visuals and sumptuous costumes, reminiscent of Peter Greenaway’s The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.
