From directors Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, The Extraordinary Miss Flower brings to life the remarkable story of Geraldine Flower and the discovery of a suitcase full of passionate, heartfelt letters sent to her in the sixties and seventies that inspired acclaimed Icelandic singer/songwriter Emiliana Torrini to return to the studio and record an entire album of new songs.
Part film, part theatre, part fever dream, the film takes the form of a series of specially designed performances of these songs by Emiliana and her band, combined with dramatic scenes and readings from the letters by well-known actors and musicians. Caroline Catz plays Miss Flower, and the supporting cast and letter readers include Richard Ayoade, Siggi Baldursson, Nick Cave, Alice Lowe, Mark Monero, Niall Murphy and Angus Sampson.
