Ginger and Rosa

Beschrijving
Sally Potter's latest film is an evocative and beautifully shot portrait of post-war Britain, as seen through the eyes of Elle Fanning's impressionable young teenager. She plays Ginger, who finds herself increasingly estranged from her mother (Christina Hendricks) and drawn further into the world of her pacifist and anti-nuclear activist father (Alessandro Nivola). However, her friendship with the fiery Rosa (Alice Englert) is severely tested by his unconventional lifestyle and their relationship threatens to explode like the bomb that threatens them all... The result is a passionate, moving and intelligent examination of political and personal responsibility, portrayed in exquisite detail by some of the greatest acting and directing talents.
Set in London in 1962, when the threat of a Cold War nuclear holocaust hangs heavy in the air, Ginger (Elle Fanning) and Rosa (Alice Englert) are two inseparable teenagers with a pact to stay friends forever. But as the blissful days of playing truant and daydreaming make way for the real world's impending state-of-emergency, the girls find their bond straining under the pressure.
