CIFF’s Global Perspectives Series is a monthly global cinema series running November 2021 - April 2022 in cinema.

THE LOST DAUGHTER screens at Globe Cinema December 15.

In her feature directorial debut, Maggie Gyllenhaal adapts Elena Ferrante's striking 2006 novel. THE LOST DAUGHTER follows Leda (Olivia Colman), a divorced college professor on an Italian vacation where she meets and quickly becomes obsessed with a woman and her young daughter. As Leda gets increasingly involved in the lives of this other family, she is forced to confront her unsettling past. 

Oscar-winner Olivia Colman brilliantly embodies this quietly tempestuous character, finely shading in the enigmatic relationships she creates with strangers. A moving yet unsettling inquiry into motherhood and personal freedom, Gyllenhaal’s adaptation maintains Ferrante’s signature ambiguity and matter-of-fact style. The film features an outstanding supporting cast, including Jessie Buckley, Ed Harris, Dakota Johnson, Paul Mescal, Alba Rohrwacher and Peter Sarsgaard.
