The Ice Tower

Marion Cotillard brings a thrilling magnetism to the screen for this snowbound tale of obsession and wish fulfilment between an actress and a young runaway.

Crafted with the mesmerising visual and sonic language that we’ve come to expect from Lucile Hadžihalilović, this 1970s-set drama centres on a teenage orphan, played by exciting newcomer Clara Pacini, who absconds to the city and awakens to find herself on the set of ‘The Snow Queen’. Here, she takes root with a new found family and falls under the spell of the titular monarch.
