Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s Buzzy Festival Breakout ‘The Ballad Of Suzanne Césaire’ Set For UK Release Via T A P E Collective


TAPE Collective will release the film on July 18th.

However, much of her work was overlooked and overshadowed by her husband’s Aime Césaire’s political career, and post WWII, she stopped publishing altogether. Hunt-Ehrlich researched the writer over five years for this film, speaking with family members and biographers alongside reading letters and primary sources. Zita Hanrot stars as an actress and new mother who attempts to grapple with the legacy of the real-life figure she’s supposed to be playing: Suzanne Césaire.
