Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017)

Biographical drama detailing an unlikely romance between American actress Gloria Grahame (Annette Bening) and a Liverpudlian half her age (Jamie Bell). 

Their romance is shown in flashback during Gloria’s final days after she comes to stay with her young lover’s mother (Julie Walters) and his family while dying of stomach cancer. 

It’s a poignant love story that examines youth, age, celebrity, sexuality and other themes with a lightness of touch. 

It’s shot in a deliberately dream-like way, with the Hollywood sunshine deliberately contrasting with the “grim oop north” English light.
