Austin Film Festival 2011

Award-winning actress Glenn Close plays a woman caught in an unusual love triangle. Passing as a man in order to work and survive in 19th century Ireland, some thirty years after donning men's clothing, she finds herself lost in a prison of her own making. Mia Wasikowska, Aaron Johnson, and Brendan Gleeson also join a prestigious, international cast that includes Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Janet McTeer, Brenda Fricker and Pauline Collins. Rodrigo Garcia (NINE LIVES, MOTHER AND CHILD) directs from a script that Glenn Close, along with Man Booker prize-winning novelist John Banville and Gabriella Prekop, adapted from a short story by Irish author George Moore. This film was nearly three decades in the making, with Close having first performed the role on stage in 1982, and her passion for the project shows in a career-topping performance.
