After a whirlwind romance in Monte Carlo with handsome widower Maxim de
Winter (Armie Hammer), a newly married young woman (Lily James) arrives at
Manderley, her new husband’s imposing family estate on a windswept English
coast. Naive and inexperienced, she begins to settle into the trappings of
her new life, but finds herself battling the shadow of Maxim’s first wife,
the elegant and urbane Rebecca, whose haunting legacy is kept alive by
Manderley’s sinister housekeeper Mrs. Danvers (Kristin Scott Thomas).
Directed by Ben Wheatley (High Rise, Free Fire) and
produced by Working Title Films (Emma, Darkest Hour), REBECCA is a
mesmerising and gorgeously rendered psychological thriller based on Daphne
du Maurier’s beloved 1938 gothic novel.
