Terence Davies' Emily Dickinson biopic to premiere at Berlin film festival

British director’s biopic of American poet, A Quiet Passion, starring Sex and the City’s Cynthia Nixon, will receive its world premiere in Berlin in February

The Berlin film festival has announced that A Quiet Passion, the much-anticipated biopic of American poet Emily Dickinson, directed by Terence Davies and starring Cynthia Nixon, is to receive its world premiere at the festival.

Davies had already finished shooting A Quiet Passion before the release of Sunset Song, the Lewis Grassic Gibbon adaptation that re-established the British auteur as a major creative force.
