From director by Mona Fastvold, and co-writer Brady Corbet – the extraordinary creative team behind The Brutalist – comes the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers.
Oscar nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker’s irrepressible leader, who – having been born into poverty in Manchester, England – went on to preach gender and social equality and was revered by her followers.
An earth-shaking cinematic procession, The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux) and original songs & score by Oscar winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).
