Miss Potter

Cinema Arts Centre
Huntington, NY

Beatrix Potter has delighted generations of children with her books. But she kept her own private life locked carefully away. Oscar-winning star Renee Zellweger is now bringing her secret story to the screen in Miss Potter, the first film directed by Chris Noonan since his charming 1995 movie, Babe. It is set in the high summer days of late Victorian and Edwardian England, during which Beatrix develops her natural skills as artist and story-teller. When she finally publishes her debut book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, she becomes a writing celebrity. It also leads to courtship and her first love with publisher Norman Warne, played by Ewan McGregor. Their relationship and his marriage proposal in July, 1905, changed Beatrixs life for ever. In high-society London, Beatrixs parents considered her proposed wedding a mismatch. Warne, they said, was from trade and demanded that she carefully reconsider their life together. Miss Potter is a luminous and intimate portrait of the amazing woman who became the worlds most successful childrens writer and a prize-winning farmer.
