Dunkirk‘s Aneurin Barnard stars in this period thriller from the producer of Gosford Park that chronicles Wolfgang Mozart’s Prague years.
1787, Prague. Mozart escapes the frustrating Vienna to spend a few weeks in Prague. However, his presence soon unleashes a series of dramatic and tragic events set off by a forbidden affair with a young soprano Zuzanna (Morfydd Clark, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies). Overwhelmed by the lust, violence and intrigue that surrounds him, Mozart finds inspiration to create the operatic masterpiece Don Giovanni.

FUNNY COW
DAILY EXPRESS UK 5/5 stars “The jokes that make Funny Cow a hit in the 1970s would land her in court now but Peake’s brutally honest performance keeps us onside. Funny Cow is a class act; fiercely performed, smartly written, sensitively directed, wonderfully scored. But it’s the bitter tang of authenticity that stays with you.”
NZ HERALD 3.5/5 stars “Peake’s superb performance, hammers home some of the film’s more salient themes. And if you can get through the depressing aspect, it does deliver a powerfully told tale of domestic survival that tugs on the heart-strings.”.
“One of the Best British Features of the Year” THE INDEPENDENT
