The TIFF website have released the first look images from Freida Pinto’s new movie, Trishna which is directed by Michael Winterbottom and also stars Riz Ahmed who we saw recently in the fantastic Four Lions.
Self-effacing British auteur Michael Winterbottom sets his unique spin on Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles against a contemporary Indian backdrop. Freida Pinto stars as the titular Trishna, a young woman who is seduced by the wealthy son of a property developer. As the romance develops, their relationship also becomes increasingly sordid and volatile.
No release date yet but we’ll keep you posted.
