Moss and Freud (15)

The growth of the unlikely friendship between painter Lucian Freud and supermodel Kate Moss is dramatised in James Lucas’ intimate, thoughtful new film, starring Derek Jacobi and Ellie Bamber.  

London, 2002: a style icon for decades, Moss (Bamber) is at the height of her fame and at a moment of transition – preparing for motherhood – when she agrees to sit for Freud (Jacobi), whose frank, lucid paintings offer up truths about their subjects. As Moss bares herself to scrutiny, a rapport develops between these two famously elusive figures that flowers into a challenging and unexpectedly transformative friendship.
