In Fabric
2019 | UK | Dir: Peter Strickland | 1hr 58min | 18
Director of Berberian Sound Studio and The Duke of Burgundy, cult British filmmaker Peter Strickland returns with a haunting ghost story set against the backdrop of a busy winter sales period in a department store. In Fabric follows the life of a cursed dress as it passes from person to person, with devastating consequences. ‘A sensuous, surreal and hysterical tour de force... Never has a garment of clothing invoked such terror and fascination, from the explicit erotic power of its crimson red, to the way that it eerily hangs in space, like a ghostly voyeur.’ (CineVue)
‘I felt I was moving more and more towards objects in my films, whether it was oscillators or lingerie and it didn’t feel like such a big leap to eventually feature a dress as a main character... That a piece of fabric can provoke feelings of empowerment, desire, disgust, control, sadness or inadequacy in different people is remarkable.’ Peter Strickland, Director
