Emma Thompson to Be Honored by Locarno Film Festival Where Her ‘The Dead of Winter’ Will Bow
Emma Thompson will be honored by the Locarno Film Festival where her latest film 'The Dead of Winter' will have its world premiere.
“Thompson’s willingness to take risks with her roles has meant that she has remained a vital force on stage and screen for four decades, a testament to the depth of affection multiple generations of fans hold for her,” the fest said in a statement. In Locarno, she will promote the world premiere of Brian Kirk-directed thriller “The Dead of Winter” in which Thompson plays a widowed fisherwoman trapped in a Minnesotan blizzard who interrupts the kidnapping of a teenager. Previous recipients of Locarno’s Leopard Club Award include Faye Dunaway, Mia Farrow, Andy Garcia, Stefania Sandrelli, Adrien Brody, Meg Ryan, Hilary Swank, Kasia Smutniak and Daisy Edgar-Jones.
