Heat and Dust

Q&A with Greta Scacchi, star of Heat and Dust

Anne, a young historical researcher, inherits letters written by her great aunt Olivia and becomes obsessed with their revelations of her past in colonial India.

Flitting between the present-day and the 1920s, the film examines their parallel journeys of self-discovery and the eternal, seductive allures of the country.

'As a meditation on time, or colonialism, or national character, or on fashions in religion, philosophy, or medicine, or on the immutabilities of sex, Heat and Dust is as wise as it is unpretentious' - Gavin Millar, Sight & Sound
