New trailer for romantic drama Ammonite starring Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan

October 15, 2020 by Amie Cranswick

Lionsgate has released a UK trailer and poster for writer-director Francis Lee’s romantic drama Ammonite. Set in the 1840s, the film is inspired by the life of palaeontologist Mary Anning, and centres on the intense relationship formed between Anning (Kate Winslet) and Charlotte (Saoirse Ronan), the wife of a rich tourist who was sent to the coast by her husband to recover from a personal tragedy; take a look here…

In the 1840s, acclaimed self-taught paleontologist Mary Anning works alone on the wild and brutal Southern English coastline of Lyme Regis. The days of her famed discoveries behind her, she now hunts for common fossils to sell to rich tourists to support herself and her ailing widowed mother. When one such tourist, Roderick Murchison, arrives in Lyme on the first leg of a European tour, he entrusts Mary with the care of his young wife Charlotte, who is recuperating from a personal tragedy. Mary, whose life is a daily struggle on the poverty line, cannot afford to turn him down but, proud and relentlessly passionate about her work, she clashes with her unwanted guest. They are two women from utterly different worlds. Yet despite the chasm between their social spheres and personalities, Mary and Charlotte discover they can each offer what the other has been searching for: the realisation that they are not alone. It is the beginning of a passionate and all-consuming love affair that will defy all social bounds and alter the course of both lives irrevocably.

Ammonite is set to screen as the closing film of the 2020 BFI London Film Festival on Sunday, October 18th ahead of a UK release in 2021.
