MADELINE'S MADELINE

MADELINE'S MADELINE
by Josephine Decker
Country: USA
Year: 2018
Duration: 94'


Madeline is a teenager who lives a complicated relationship with her mother Regina. She is deeply involved in a theatrical production that the director Evangeline adapts using personal revelations drawn from the young girl’s experiences. As life and art reflect and reframe each other, the film becomes a hallucinatory hall of mirrors and a window open on a flow of consciousness.
