Rebecca Morelle Edition: Bits & Pieces

Rebecca Morelle Edition: Bits & Pieces – Following its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, Rosebush Pruning brings together an A-list cast in a bold, unpredictable portrait of a wealthy family, where privilege, desire and long-buried secrets collide. The film stars Callum Turner (Masters of the Air, The Boys in the Boat), Riley Keough (Daisy Jones & The Six, Zola), Jamie Bell (All of Us Strangers, Rocketman), Lukas Gage (The White Lotus, Euphoria), Elena Anaya(The Skin I Live In, MotherFatherSon) with Tracy Letts (Lady Bird, Ford vs Ferrari), Elle Fanning (Sentimental Value, A Complete Unknown) andPamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl, The Naked Gun).

This unique film tells the story of the birth of cinema and its experimental early decades through the prism of dreams and the way in which pioneering silent film directors created thrilling dream sequences and entire dream films that mirrored the very way we dream ourselves. We follow this relationship through the eyes and words of the legendary, late Film Studies professor at Harvard, Vlada Petrić. Here played by Serbian actor (Little Joe, The Zookeeper’s Wife, Jack Ryan) Petrić undertakes his own dreamlike odyssey through disparate landscapes, odd encounters, and spellbinding film clips.
