CGiii Comment

Read the blurb...that way you'll get the most out of this!

However, the acting veers towards the Am-Dram on more than one occasion...making it a little awkward in places!

The(ir) Blurb...

Demi-Lea Sadler (Ronke Adekoluejo), a medical doctor, and her husband Will (Henry Garrett), a struggling novelist, are desperately trying to have children. When Anne Harris (Jane Stanton), Demi-Lea's best friend who also happens to be Will's ex, brings the mysteriously handsome Freddy Young (Maximilian Befort) over for dinner one night, dreams start coming true in ways unexpected. Lascivious Grace is a dramatic short inspired by the themes and characters of Shakespeare's collection of 154 sonnets about a love triangle involving a Poet, a Fair Youth and a Dark Lady, which was published in 1609. In 2017, over four hundred years later, writer and director Nadia Cavelle devised a narrative that draws on the sonnets to form a lyrical, cinematic exploration of the three major hallmarks of the human experience: love, lust and legacy. The film blurs the line between reality and fiction, inciting the audience to engage with one or all of the themes explored.
