Carry on Screaming: the Extraordinary Miss Flower (12A)

Our Carry on Screaming films are every Friday morning. They allow parents or carers with a child under one to see a film without having to worry about causing a disturbance, and with adjustments to the cinema environment to make it as convenient and comfortable as possible. It’s free entry for babies, but please be aware: no baby, no entry.

When Geraldine Flower passed away, her family uncovered a secret cache of letters containing declarations of love from suitors around the globe, hinting at the possibility of a life of espionage. Taking inspiration, Icelandic singer-songwriter Emilíana Torrini recorded an album that forms the spine of this filmic fever dream. Artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard (20,000 Days on Earth, The Horror Show! at Somerset House) mesh together these fragments of performance from Torrini, choreographer Kate Coyne, and actors forming a Greek chorus of lovers, to bring the beguiling Miss Flower thrillingly back to life.
