Description
Kristen Stewart’s stunning directorial debut charts the journey of Lidia Yuknavitch, a scholarship swimmer who reconciles her turbulent upbringing and resurfacing trauma by finding solace in the art of literature. Adapted from Yuknavitch’s autobiographical bestseller, this Un Certain Regard official selection from this year’s Cannes film festival is an aesthetically bold portrait that ecstatically captures the cathartic experience of breaking through.
Featuring a tour de force performance from Imogen Poots and sterling support from Thora Birch, Tom Sturridge, Jim Belushi, and Kim Gordon, THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER is at once visceral and poetic – a formally fragmented and fluid ode to the processing and reclamation of one’s past and identity that clearly heralds a distinct new voice in cinema.
