Susannah York won Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for her role (or roles?) as Cathryn, a children’s fantasy novelist—the film features excerpts from York’s own writing—on holiday at her country home with her husband (or husbands?). In this home, rich with memory, relationships current and past confront, transform, and fold into one another, rendering a vivid portrait of a woman beyond the verge. “Thrashing about between chaos and tranquility, between light and dark, expression and repression . . . the atmosphere and setting are nothing short of brilliant” (Kier-La Janisse). The eerie score by John Williams and “sounds” by Stomu Yamash’ta punctuate the thriller’s unease.
