FANNY LYE DELIVER’D
O.V. in English subtitled in Spanish
Set in puritan England in 1657, Fanny Lye Deliver'd takes a break from the "teacup cinema" to turn it into a kind of The Hateful 8, a film that leaves us with a memorable character in the process. Fanny's, a housewife living on a farm with her son under the heel of her devoted and authoritarian husband. After the eruption of a mysterious fugitive couple, a series of events are unleashed which will make Fanny free herself from her oppression, though not exempt from violence, torridity and touches of black humour. Also, it is necessary to point out that we will be able to see this film in its entirety before online platforms show a sensored and cut version.
