SUMMARY:Clarissa
DESCRIPTION:Six years after their debut feature EYIMOFE: THIS IS MY DESIRE\, brothers Arie Esiri and Chuko Esiri have produced and directed a wonderful adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s classic 1925 novel Mrs. Dalloway. Set in contemporary Nigeria\, the film chronicles a high-society couple portrayed by the magnetic Sophie Okonedo as the titular Clarissa Dalloway and Jude Akuwudike as her husband Richard. \nWhile preparing for a big reception\, Clarissa recalls her teenage years (with the younger Clarissa played in these scenes by India Amarteifio). At that time\, her heart was torn between Richard and Peter\, a promising young writer (Toheeb Jimoh and touchingly played as an older man by David Oyelowo) who has suddenly reappeared in Clarissa’s life. \nThe harmful impacts of World War I are ingeniously transposed onto the fight against Boko Haram\, which has been ravaging northern Nigeria since 2009. Septimus (Fortune Nwafor\, impressive)\, a soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder\, crosses paths with one of Clarissa’s guests who is distraught over what happened to him. \nAbetted by Jonathan Bloom’s magnificent 35mm cinematography and meticulous attention to detail\, and written by Chuku Esiri\, who also scripted EYIMOFE: THIS IS MY DESIRE\, CLARISSA immerses us in a suspended moment in time—a time of introspection\, existential crisis\, and re-examination of the past. By choosing to focus on individual destinies rather than collective ones\, the Esiri brothers offer us precious portraits in a unique and impressive style. —Claire Diao\, Toronto International Film Festival guide \nDirector: Arie Esiri\, Chuko Esiri \nRun Time: 134 min. \nRelease Year: 2026 \nStarring: Ayo Edebiri\, David Oyelowo\, India Ria Amarteifio\, Sophie Okonedo\, Toheeb Jimoh
