ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Juliette Binoche, Kristen Stewart, and Chloë Grace Moretz light up this exhilarating look at art, acting, and aging from Olivier Assayas (CARLOS). When renowned actress Maria Enders (Binoche) is cast opposite a young starlet (Moretz), Maria must come to terms with being a middle-aged actress in a youth-obsessed industry. Retreating into the mountains with her assistant (a revelatory Stewart, first-ever American winner of a César acting award), Maria prepares for the most important role of her life. Set amidst the splendor of the Swiss Alps, CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA is propelled by tour-de-force performances from three actresses at the top of their game.

SYNOPSIS
