Hot off of his screen adaptation of CORIOLANUS, Ralph Fiennes has stepped behind the camera once again for THE INVISIBLE WOMAN, based on a screenplay by SHAME writer Abi Morgan. The British thespian also stars in the film as Charles Dickens with the action revolving around his relationship with a school teacher named Nelly.
Nelly [Felicity Jones], a happily-married mother and schoolteacher, is haunted by her past. Her memories, provoked by remorse and guilt, take us back in time to follow the story of her relationship with Charles Dickens [Ralph Fiennes] with whom she discovered an exciting but fragile complicity.
Dickens – famous, controlling and emotionally isolated within his success – falls for Nelly, who comes from a family of actors. The theatre is a vital arena for Dickens – a brilliant amateur actor – a man more emotionally coherent on the page or on stage, than in life. As Nelly becomes the focus of Dickens’ passion and his muse, for both of them secrecy is the price, and for Nelly a life of “invisibility”.
The trailer for the film has just debuted over at Yahoo! Movies, and you can watch it below.
THE INVISIBLE WOMAN opens in the UK on the 7th February 2014, while US audiences can catch it from Christmas Day.
