LADIES' SPOTLIGHT FILM
London 1922. The aristocratic socialite and writer Vita Sackville-West (Gemma Arterton) first lays eyes on the famous novelist Virginia Woolf and vows to pursue her, beginning one of the most notorious and convention-shattering love affairs in literary history. This sensuous and highly literate love story draws heavily on the letters the two married women exchanged bringing these wildly different personalities to life. Vita is a flamboyant extrovert, impervious to scandal, but she’s awed by the intellect of her lover. Virginia is physically awkward, a woman of piercing insight and fragile sanity. Through lavish costumes and seductive settings, Vita & Virginia transports us into a past that seems a century ahead of its time.
