The pen of director Sam Mendes and the brush of his chief of photography Roger Deakins conjure up a profoundly human ode to love and cinema.
Set in an English seaside town in the early 1980s, Empire of Light is a powerful and poignant story about human connection and the magic of cinema, from Academy Award®-winning director Sam Mendes.
“Created with great tenderness and compassion by writer-director Sam Mendes, Empire of Light is a love letter to the people who come together under the glow of the cinema, and to the beautiful tales they take away for the rest of their lives.” - TIFF
