I caught Femme early this year at the Berlinale back in February and it is still very much among myself best of the year. The film is finally getting a UK release through Signature Entertainment in a few weeks’ time and I cannot wait to see it again.
Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and George MacKay lead the cast of the film which will play exclusively in cinemas from 1st December.
Jules’ life and career as a drag queen is destroyed by a homophobic attack, but when he re-encounters his attacker in a gay sauna, he is presented with a chance to exact revenge.
Starring George MacKay (1917), Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Misfits), John McCrea (Cabaret), Nima Taleghani (Heartstopper), Aaron Heffernan (Brassic), and Antonia Clarke (The Serpent Queen). With music composed by Adam Janota Bzowski (Saint Maud) and cinematography by James Rhodes (Adele: One Night Only).
Femme is produced by Myles Payne (Beast), Sam Ritzenberg and Hayley Williams, and is written and directed by Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping based on their 2021 BIFA-winning and BAFTA-nominated short of the same name.
