Leonora Carrington: The Lost Surrealist (2017)
Directed by Teresa Griffiths
Documentary, TV Movie · 1h 00m
British surrealist Leonora Carrington was a key part of the surrealist movement during its heyday in Paris and yet, until recently, remained a virtual unknown in the country of her birth. This film explores her dramatic evolution from British debutante to artist in exile, living out her days in Mexico City, and takes us on a journey into her darkly strange and cinematic world.
