PODCAST | Angelo Acerbi interviews Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor, directors of the film Rose Plays Julie.

Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor ( known also under the label of Desperate Optimists) created a gripping drama, that unravels like a thriller. The process was long and multilayered in terms of plot and motivations , as they tell us in this interview at the London Film Festival.

Rose Plays Julie: It’s during a term studying animal euthanasia that veterinary student Rose (Ann Skelly) decides to contact Ellen (Orla Brady), the birth mother who gave her up for adoption. But Ellen, who is now a successful London-based actress, doesn’t want to know. Undeterred, Rose will not be ignored. And curiosity leads her to discoveries that shake the fragile identity she has built for herself.
