AMMONITE Q&A | BFI London Film Festival 2020

A fictionalised account of the life of the 19th century palaeontologist Mary Anning, Winslet plays the pioneering scientist with Ronan as the gentlewoman who falls in love with her while staying in Mary’s beloved Lyme Regis. Lee once again displays his ability to convey vivid textures and a strong sense of place - from the salty seaside cottage and the weight of a fossil or tool, to the roar of the sea - and is aided by Stéphane Fontaine’s (A Prophet, Jackie) first rate cinematography. Deftly taking in the erasure of women from the history of science, the film is also woven through with an unusually subtle take on class difference in small town 19th-century Britain and its subversion within the exclusive company of women. Yet at its heart, Ammonite is a love story - one of great intimacy and candour - with Winslet and Ronan excelling in movingly unguarded performances.

How can you not love Kate Winslet? She is immensely talented, and amazingly charming and wonderfuuuuuuullllll!!!!!!! :-D

[@theultimatecatloverchannel9432]

Saoirse was hilarious with the eye roll after Kate went on too much about the director lol. I always forget she's only 26. She seems so mature usually.

This was a lovely interview I wish this movie would get more appreciation. It’s beautifully written, beautifully shot, the dynamic between the characters are mesmerizing. And the « Saoirse sorry you just rolled your eyes at me » bit was super cute

[@wheelgordes8253]

I like how passionate they are about their experience as actresses in this independant movies. I am looking forward to seeing this one on a big screen. Too bad we are in quarantine again in France. I don't know when they will release it here.

Ammonite is a good film indeed. Both actresses really talented & so powerful delivering their emotions through their eyes & gestures. Fantastic movie!

[@jillbarnes4847]

This was so good to see after watching the film. Both main characters equally 'got it'. I loved the part played by the Dr too. Everyone played their role so well. The setting and filming was so absorbing.

I saw the movie last night and was compelled to seek out any further info from the cast/director. Such a wonderful piece of work from two of Britain's finest actors and an extraordinary achievement cinematically.
