Bright and eccentric As I found out after watching the film, it turns out to be shot based on real events.
There was a real artist in the style of art deco Clarissa Cliff and the film just shows the beginning of her career.
I did google, she did make beautiful and bright pottery. I liked it, I'd buy it. But Clarissa lived in England and her work was not accepted there. They have all this: aristocracy, stiffness, everything should be strict and conservative. And bright dishes with an unusual design were not accepted. Cliff not only played with color, but also experimented with forms. But she drew the attention of the co-owner of the factory where she worked, Arthur Collie Austin Shorter. Ooh, Matthew Goode... Well, I admit, I started watching the movie just for him. And he didn't pull it off, cute.
So, 20s. England. A young girl tries to argue with high-ranking men about what to produce in a factory to survive. The Clarissa Cliff story. The story of a strong and very talented girl. The young artist wanted people to smile more often and used bright colors in her work. And although it was not accepted by the authorities and sales did not go well, Cliff knew that ordinary people liked it and caused a smile and therefore stubbornly went to his goal. Despite the fact that she was a modest girl in her life, she built an advertising company very cleverly. And the co-owner of the factory Shorter helped her in this.
In general, lately, when I hear the phrase ' a film about strong and independent women' my eyes spontaneously roll and make a full turn, but this film is not one of a number of similar. Here everything is appropriate, without unnecessary pathos and leaves a warm aftertaste.
Test.
