THE DOOR
Year: 2012
Length: 98 minutes
Genre: Drama, Female relationship
Rating: M 98’ Mature themes
Cast: Helen Mirren(The Queen, State of Play), Martina Geddeck, Karoly Eperjes
Director:Istvan Szabo(Mephisto, Colonel Redl, Being Julia)
Magda, a female writer struggling for success, employs an elderly woman called Emerence (HELEN MIRREN) to be her housekeeper. From their first encounter, it is clear that Emerence is no ordinary maid. Although everyone in the neighbourhood knows and respects her, no one knows anything about her private life or has ever been allowed to enter her home. However, a dramatic event in the writer's life prompts Emerence to unveil glimpses of her traumatic past - a past which sheds light on her very peculiar behaviour.
THE DOOR brilliantly illustrates the bond as it develops between these two very different women and, ultimately, the tragic end of their relationship.
"Faultlessly directed with Old World taste and conviction" Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter
