The acclaimed director tests his creative boundaries with this innovative supernatural story shot entirely from the viewpoint of the spirit.

It's a riot of tacky decor, overdone appearance and hypocrisy, however Chastain succeeds to present the real-life figure with compassion. October 14th, 1.15am, the Film4 channel
