Product Details:
| In a role specifically written for her, Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises) brings to life an achingly poignant characterisation hailed by Margaret Pomeranz as the most exquisite performance in a beautiful film. In 1921, Ewa Cybulski (Marion Cotillard) and her sister sail to New York from their native Poland in search of a new start and the American dream. When they reach Ellis Island, doctors discover that Magda (Angela Sarafyan, The Twilight Saga) is ill, and the two women are separated. Ewa is released onto the mean streets of Manhattan while Magda is quarantined. Alone, with nowhere to turn and desperate to reunite with her sister, Ewa quickly falls prey to Bruno (Joaquin Phoenix, The Master), a charming but wicked man who takes her in and forces her into prostitution. The arrival of Orlando (Jeremy Renner – The Hurt Locker) – a dashing stage magician who is also Bruno’s cousin – restores her self-belief and hopes for a brighter future. He sweeps her of her feet and becomes Ewa’s only chance to escape the nightmare in which she finds herself. |
