How Saint Maud film taps into the horror of loneliness

Image captionWelsh actress Morfydd Clark has shared her concern for the well-being of health workers during the Covid-19 pandemic, saying"the circumstances mean that you can't do enough, while being called a hero, that's very tough".

"I spoke to my Mum, and my cousins a lot to figure out where Maud's coming from. Maud used to work for a hospital, and now she's in the private sector and the audience has the hint that in the past something awful has happened at work with her, which has tipped her over the edge. "The pandemic's been really tough for everyone in this field.... [like them] Maud's just a person who wants to get things right.", Saint Maud will be released in cinemas this Friday - and the film has received critical acclaim since it first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2019.

Maud's job involves giving palliative care to Amanda , a terminally ill woman who has had a successful artistic career.The viewer is never quite sure if the supernatural events are real or imagined by Maud The director also wonders whether, after lockdown,"more people can see Maud moping around in her bedsit and empathise with the angst and weirdness of it".
