Anticipate Pictures presents: Madeline's Madeline (2018) dir. Josephine Decker (94 mins) - M18 as a co-presentation with the Singapore Writers' Festival 2018.Madeline is playing a cat. But it is not simply enough to play one, you must be one. American independent film-maker Josephine Decker’s latest film, hailed by Indiewire as “lyrical, erotic and urgent”, is a study of the obsessive quest to perfect one’s craft – in Madeline’s case, to be the consummate immersive theatre artist. As Madeline strives to fulfil both the expectations of an increasingly paranoid mother and her insidious theatre director, her carefully constructed worlds of reality and make-believe threaten to tear her apart. Official Synopsis: Madeline (newcomer Helena Howard) has become an integral part of a prestigious physical theater troupe. When the workshop's ambitious director (Molly Parker) pushes the teenager to weave her rich interior world and troubled history with her mother (Miranda July) into their collective art, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. The resulting battle between imagination and appropriation rips out of the rehearsal space and through all three women’s lives.
