The LRB is delighted to present a preview of Hot Milk, adapted from the acclaimed novel by Deborah Levy. The screening will be preceded by an introductory Q&A with the actor Fiona Shaw and the award-winning screenwriter and filmmaker Rebecca Lenkiewicz, in conversation with Gareth Evans, regular host of LRB Screen. This is the latest event in that series’ exploration of the art of literary-cinematic adaptation, through unique screening events in partnership with MUBI.

Rose (Fiona Shaw) and her daughter Sofia (Emma Mackey) travel to the Spanish seaside town of Almería to consult with the shamanic Dr. Gomez (Vincent Perez), a physician who could possibly hold the cure to Rose’s mystery illness, which has left her bound to a wheelchair. But in the sultry atmosphere of this sun-bleached town, Sofia, who has been trapped by her mother’s illness all her life, finally starts to shed her inhibitions, enticed by the persuasive charms of enigmatic traveller Ingrid (Vicky Krieps).
