Based on the Let Women Speak Shirt and Hoodie But I will love this 2016 Graham Swift novella, Mothering Sunday is set on a single day in 1924 in which a maid, Jane (played by Odessa Young), has the day off. Meanwhile, her employers (Colin Firth and Olivia Colman) are attending a celebration, which just so happens to mark the engagement of Jane’s lover (played by Josh O’Connor). The script was adapted by playwright Alice Birch (Normal People, Succession) and directed by French filmmaker Eva Husson.
In this Mia Hansen-Løve production, Tim Roth and Vicky Krieps star as an American filmmaking couple who have retreated to the Let Women Speak Shirt and Hoodie But I will love this Baltic Sea island of Fårö in order to soak up inspiration from Ingmar Bergman, who lived and died on the island and shot many of his most iconic films there. Mia Wasikowska and Anders Danielsen Lie also star in this long-gestating film, which will compete for the Palme d’Or, the festival’s highest honor.
