Exclusive film preview for customers
The bank recently hosted a film preview of Effie Gray, a film directed by Richard Laxton and produced by Donald Rosenfeld and Andreas Roald. Donald Rosenfeld is the former president of Merchant Ivory Productions. The film is due for release later this year.
The film explores the relationship between Effie Gray (Dakota Fanning) and Victorian art critic and historian John Ruskin (Greg Wise). A fascinating story that remains shrouded in mystery to this day.
The script was written by Emma Thompson, who appears in the film as Lady Eastlake. David Suchet stars as John Ruskin senior and Julie Walters as Margaret Ruskin. The film is set in Scotland, London and Venice.
The film was introduced by its producer Andreas Roald who very kindly took part in a Q&A and drinks reception enjoyed by our customers.
