Biopic of celebrated 19th-century American poet Emily Dickinson by veteran writer-director Terence Davies (The Deep Blue Sea). Stars Cynthia Nixon (TV's Sex and the City) and Jennifer Ehle (Pride and Prejudice).
"Born in 1830, Dickinson is considered to be a gifted child, but an emotional trauma forces her to give up her studies. The introverted young woman withdraws from society and writes poetry. In spite of her cloistered existence she takes her readers on a journey into the wider world. Terence Davies imagines her biography and explores how Emily Dickinson’s exceptional poems could come into being... Davies’ biopic also describes a talented woman’s lonely and desperate struggle for recognition in a world dominated by men." (Berlin International Film Festival)
