In James Lucas’ intimate and insightful journey of self-discovery, supermodel Kate Moss sits for acclaimed artist Lucian Freud as he paints her portrait.
Set in 2002, the impossibly glamorous Moss is at the height of her success and at a moment of transition as she prepares for motherhood. Lucian is 80 – a legend on the art scene, yet somehow, they find common ground at a time when Moss needs a wise father (or grandfather) figure in her life.
Ellie Bamber and Derek Jacobi bring these iconic figures wonderfully to life, enabling audiences to witness the personal interaction that took place behind closed doors. Lucas’ impressive debut is a tender portrait of self-reflection and an unexpectedly transformative friendship.
