LILLIAN
Inspired by a story that really happened in the 1920s, that of a young Russian girl – Lillian Alling, in fact – who attempted to return to Russia on foot directly from New York, Lillian – directed by Andreas Horvath and produced by Ulrich Seidl – is actually a magnetic, painful, but also exciting and fascinating film, which perfectly keeps the audience’s attention high from beginning to end. At the Cannes Film Festival 2019, as part of the Directors’ Fortnight.
