The Ice Tower (La Tour de Glace)
The 1970s. Jeanne, a 15-year-old orphan, witnesses the shoot for a film adaptation of the fairy tale The Snow Queen and she falls under the spell of its star, the enigmatic Cristina (Marion Cotillard), an actress who is just as mysterious and alluring as the Queen she is playing. A mutual fascination grows between the actress and the girl. Colder than ice, the Snow Queen’s kiss pierces the heart…
A spellbinding fable of obsession and enchantment by visionary director Lucile Hadžihalilovic, who reunites here with Academy Award® winner Marion Cotillard, beautiful and dangerous as sadly she glances down from her ivory tower.
This screening is supported by the French Embassy in Ireland, Goethe-Institut Irland and Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Dublino.
