Breaking Baz: Marianne Elliott Makes Filmmaking Debut Taking A Winning Walk Along ‘The Salt Path’ With Gillian Anderson & Jason Isaacs – Toronto Film Festival


Tony-winning theater director Marianne Makes her feature directing debut with The Salt Path, starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs.

The Salt Path stars Gillian Anderson, at the height of her powers, as Raynor “Ray” Winn, who learns two things in quick succession that will upend the life she shares with Moth ( Jason Isaacs), her husband of over three decades. What’s brilliant about the performances, combined with Elliott’s direction, Rebecca Lenkiewicz’s script and Hélèn Louvart’s cinematography, is that they are able to convey, often without words, the elements that underpin the story: a woman in her 50s who’s the driving force in her family, the social attitudes toward the homeless, and the healing powers of the natural world. Her paternal grandfather, Canon Wallace Elliott, was Percenter of the Chapels Royal and domestic Chaplain to King George VI, so it’s clear to see why the performative arts are very much in her blood.
