Filmen Clarissa fick stående ovationer vid premiären i Cannes

Arie och Chuko Esiris film Clarissa möttes av långa stående ovationer efter visningen i sektionen Directors’ Fortnight under filmfestivalen i Cannes. Filmen, som är en fri tolkning av Virginia Woolfs Mrs. Dalloway, hade premiär den 16 maj i Cannes.

Filmen, som är inspelad på 35mm-film i Nigeria, följer societetskvinnan Clarissa när hon förbereder en fest i Lagos. Under tillställningen återförenas hon med gamla vänner från ungdomen, vilket väcker reflektioner kring tidigare relationer och ouppfyllda drömmar. Sophie Okonedo och India Amarteifio spelar Clarissa i olika åldrar, med stöd av bland andra David Oyelowo, Toheeb Jimoh och Nikki Amuka-Bird.
