Adapted from the biographical novel based on the life of the celebrated British surrealist artist, Leonora Carrington.
One of the most celebrated artists of the surrealist movement and the highest selling British-born female artist, Leonora Carrington rebelled against social expectations and challenged her contemporaries including André Breton and Salvador Dalí. Living in Paris in the tumult of the 1930s with Max Ernst, their creative and romantic relationship is torn apart by war. Adapted from the biographical novel Leonora by Elena Poniatowska, the film spans the artist’s life across France, Spain, and Mexico.
