Lady

“[This] outrageous mockumentary is like Saltburn on shrooms.” - The Guardian


What happens when privilege meets a camera crew? Lady is a sharp and hilarious British mockumentary following the fabulously self-absorbed Lady Isabella, an aristocrat determined to document her extraordinary life. Starring Sian Clifford in a critically acclaimed performance, this biting satire skewers class, entitlement and celebrity culture with wit and surprising warmth. Directed by Samuel Abrahams in his feature debut, Lady combines laugh-out-loud comedy with moments of unexpected humanity, creating an irreverent portrait of a woman blissfully unaware of how the rest of the world sees her.


★★★★ ”An outrageous mockumentary... Sian Clifford shines in this barnstorming comedy”: The Guardian

La Traviata remains a powerful exploration of love, freedom and the price of living outside society’s rules in nineteenth-century France and features unforgettable melodies, intimate drama and heartbreaking humanity.
