Moss & Freud

Supermodel Kate Moss, embarks on a journey of self discovery when acclaimed artist Lucian Freud offers to paint her picture. For Moss, her life tumultuous and unpredictable, the sessions provided solace, an eye in the hurricane. And Freud through his searching, exploring conversational style – was able to find the vulnerabilities that lay just beneath the surface of Moss’s very public life. Freud became a wise and witty teacher and Moss brought out a paternal streak in him, perhaps lacking with some of his own progeny. Ironically, neither Moss nor Freud particularly loved the finished portrait, completed in 2002, though the art world did. It sold in auction in 2005 for £3.5m. It was never about money for the

pair. Instead they forged a special friendship based upon a sense of profound connection and the end result - a bond of love and mutual respect. A story about two huge personalities sizing each other up, a rapport/attraction, an exchange in life experience, lessons learnt and reflection, a painting in progress, outside pressures and, finally, a baby in utero. Using Kate Moss herself as our central storyteller and narrator, our film is a charming and revealing bio-pic full of incongruity, contrasts, connection, warmth, humour and surprise.
