| The Lake | ||||
| Screen Bites audiences have been delighted and stimulated by festival
chairman Robert Golden’s documentary films from the Savouring
Europe series for the past three years.
Now we have a chance to show his second feature film, The Lake. It has
never been screened in England before, and because it was largely filmed
on beautiful Lake Orta in Italy, it was the perfect choice to show in the
Italian Villa next to Compton Acres’s stunning Italian garden.
The Lake tells the story of Anne, an elderly English woman diagnosed
with a fatal disease. She leaves her difficult grown up children and
returns to the place she found her first love, in Italy after the war. Trying
to piece together the story of her lover’s subsequent life, Anne meets a
young woman also in love with a handsome Italian and also the subject
of his family’s disapproval. Memory and reality blur as she finds people
she vaguely remembers, and realises they seem to have a secret to hide.
This touching story, written, directed and filmed by Golden with his
trademark sensual beauty and specially licensed by Poole Borough
Council for this evening's screening, stars the luminous Eve Pearce as
Anne, with Tina Gambe as the young teacher, and Screen Bites’ own
Tina Ellen Lee as a mysterious stranger.
The premiere of The Lake is Screen Bites's first non-food film. The Lake, 2001 Certified as suitable for general release by Poole Borough Council Director Robert Golden, 1hr 43mins, English |
