AMMONITE FILM CAST FULL
Her findings shaped beliefs about prehistoric life and included the first full ichthyosaur skeleton. Anning was a paleontologist and fossil collector who lived in Lyme Regis her entire life from 1799 to 1847. Unfortunately, “Ammonite” is a prime example of a film based on real events that is significantly less interesting than the true story. When he heads off on his travels, he leaves his wife to spend time with Mary and the two soon develop a close relationship. A well-meaning but annoying gentleman ( James McArdle ) with an interest in science arrives in town with his wife Charlotte and asks Mary if he can accompany her on her fossil hunting. She struggles with not being accepted by the scientific community and the poor health of her mother ( Gemma Jones ). Mary Anning is an early paleontologist who walks the coasts of Lyme Regis, looking for fossils. However, even without the juxtaposition, “Ammonite” is restrained and quiet to the point of dreariness and its muted, grey color palette seems to match the dampness of the film. The film has already suffered from comparisons to last year’s beautiful “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” another period drama lesbian romance. The film revolves around the romance between Anning, as played by Kate Winslet, and Charlotte Murchison, played by Saoirse Ronan. The period drama is written and directed by Francis Lee and loosely inspired by the life of British paleontologist Mary Anning.
Year: 2020 Runtim e: 120 minutes Writer/Director: Francis Lee Stars: Kate Winslet, Saoirse Ronan, Gemma Jones, James McArdle, Fiona Shaw By Nicole Ackman With a starry cast and a fascinating premise, “Ammonite” has garnered much attention from the moment it was announced.
