'Typist Artist Pirate King' is the latest film from acclaimed director Carol Morley, inspired by the life story of forgotten avant-garde artist Audrey Amiss. The film, which has already had glowing reviews from critics, is released in selected cinemas across the UK this Friday, 27th October.
In the "charming and compassionate comedy" we see Audrey, played by Monica Dolan, embark upon a road trip to an art gallery in Sunderland with her psychiatric nurse Sandra, played by Kelly McDonald. The film is executive produced by Jane Campion.
Kieran Bew plays taxi driver Gabe Patier who they meet on their journey to the North East.
★★★★ "Generous portrait of neglected artist Audrey Amiss...a tragicomic road trip" - The Guardian
★★★★ "Morley's most successful film to date" - Eye for Film
★★★★ "A funny, touching, nuanced portrait of an undersung artist" - Flickering Myth
The film had its UK premiere at the Glasgow Film Festival earlier this year, but tomorrow night (26th October) will have its London premiere at the Raindance Film Festival. Kieran will also be joining other cast and crew members at a series of post-screening Q&A sessions at venues across the country at locations including Newcastle, Glasgow, London, Manchester and Brighton - see full list.
