The Testament of Ann Lee [70MM]

EXCLUSIVE 70MM SEASON AT THE ASTOR THEATRE & PALACE JAMES ST FROM FEBRUARY 26 Put your trust in Mother Ann. Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried is a glorious beacon of power at the heart of THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE, an awe-inspiringly original cinematic miracle from award-winning filmmaker Mona Fastvold (The World to Come, The Brutalist). Fierce, feral and fearless, Fastvold’s retelling of the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee was co-written with her partner Brady Corbet, with whom she also penned last year’s Oscar winner ‘The Brutalist’. In a ferocious Golden Globe nominated performance, Seyfried leads as Ann Lee, the founder and irrepressible leader of the devotional sect known as the Shakers, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers. The epic fable captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with vivid choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux) and rhapsodic original songs & score by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).
