\n\tEXCLUSIVE: U.S. director Lance Hammer<\/a> returns to the Berlin<\/a> Film Festival with his first film in 18 years, Queen At Sea<\/a>, playing in competition, and Deadline can reveal a first clip.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe drama co-stars Oscar-winning actress Juliette Binoche<\/a> and Tom Courtenay<\/a>, who won best actor at the Berlinale in 2015 for his performance in 45 Years.<\/p>\n

\n\tBinoche plays a single mother squeezed between raising her teenage daughter and caring for her Alzheimer\u2019s-afflicted mother (Anna Calder-Marshall), opposite Tom Courtenay as her stepfather, who may be abusing his spouse.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe story was sparked by real-life tales of dementia heard organically by Hammer, several of which had \u00a0to do with ongoing sexual relationships where one of the partners was experiencing the illness.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFamilies were struggling with impossible choices regarding agency and consent. When does someone lose the agency to make critical decisions on their own behalf? Who is responsible for determining this? A spouse, a child, an institution?\u201d he says in a director\u2019s note.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt often takes someone from outside to help them see things have progressed more significantly than they realize.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is produced by Tristan Goligher at The Bureau as well as Hammer under his Alluvial Film Company banner, and sold internationally by The Match Factory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: U.S. director Lance Hammer returns to the Berlin Film Festival with his first film in 18 years,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":133437,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9388,54128,56894,56967,9,24,63,56968,122,124,123,56969],"class_list":{"0":"post-133436","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-queens","8":"tag-berlin","9":"tag-efm","10":"tag-juliette-binoche","11":"tag-lance-hammer","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-queen-at-sea","16":"tag-queens","17":"tag-queens-headlines","18":"tag-queens-news","19":"tag-tom-courtenay"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/133437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
