Meduza

Slovenski opis filma:

Drama. Za petnajstletno Sarah življenje ni preprosto … V šoli jo ustrahujejo, s svojim prepotentnim šefom v lokalni igralnici ima nerazčiščen odnos, ob vsem tem pa mora doma poskrbeti še za svojega mlajšega brata, sestro in manično depresivno mamo, ki ni najbolj samostojna. Kakor koli, dramski učitelj pri njej odkrije poseben talent za ustvarjanje komičnih nastopov. Pod njegovim vodstvom Sarah uspe preusmeriti svojo divjo in nestanovitno energijo v nekaj oprijemljivejšega in bolj urejenega. Začne se pripravljati za maturantski nastop in obenem tudi sama spoznava, da je nadarjena. Njena ljubezen do komedije postaja vse močnejša, in bolj ko se bliža dan predstave, bolj se kažejo razlike in večja je stiska med tem, kar Sarah želi od življenja, in njenim resničnim življenjem. / ZK/ 2018 Režija: James Gardner / Scenarij: James Gardner, Simon Lord / Igrajo: Liv Hill, Sinead Matthews, Cyril Nri, Angus Barnett, Tomos Eames, Victoria Alcock, Helen Kennedy, Robbie White, Henry Lile, Jemima Newman, Connor Mills, Jay Sajjid, Lauran Taylor-Griffin, Mark Sangster, Ria Zmitrowicz …

Originalni opis filma:

Fifteen-year-old Sarah Taylor exists in the eye of the storm. The sole caretaker of her family, including precocious twin siblings and a manic-depressive mother who spends most of her time in bed, Sarah runs from school to home to work each and every day. Yet, despite her Herculean efforts to put food on the table and keep the electricity on, she is still forced to engage with more dehumanizing ways to make a few extra bucks-so it's no wonder that her back is up among her peers at school. Jellyfish tells the story of Sarah's discovery of an unexpected outlet for her frustration and quick-tempered wit: stand-up comedy. First-time feature film director James Gardner paints a dark and hard-edged picture of life in this grey seaside British town, and, in newcomer Liv Hill, he uncovers a revelatory talent. Thanks to her fiercely evocative and vulnerable depiction of Sarah, Hill gives the audience truly remarkable insight into a young woman living a life far beyond her years.
