Anne Hathaway and More Heighten the Drama at the ‘Mother Mary’ NYC Screening
- Writer-Director David Lowery's film 'Mother Mary' stars Anne Hathaway as a pop icon who reunites with her estranged former collaborator, designer Sam, portrayed by Michaela Coel.
- Once inseparable creative partners, Mary and Sam have been estranged for 10 years following a cataclysmic breakup; now Mary unexpectedly arrives at Sam's English country manor seeking a dress for an upcoming concert.
- During the film, Mary performs a new song titled 'Spooky Action,' which she says 'might be the best song ever written in the history of songs,' referencing Einstein's principle of separated particles.
- The narrative ultimately shifts into what Lowery describes as a 'Gothic metaphysical fantasy,' moving into abstract imagery that some viewers may find disorienting or incoherent.
- Lowery cited Taylor Swift as inspiration for the character, intending Hathaway's performance to reflect a vision of the singer in 10 to 15 years, blending stadium spectacle with private struggle.
