Searchlight Pictures has shared the image from SWEETSICK written and directed by Alice Birch and starring Cate Blanchett. The film just began production, filming takes place in UK and Greece. Cate is also producing under her Dirty Films banner.

Cate Blanchett plays a mercurial woman with a strange and piercing gift – the ability to see what others most intimately need, often at great personal cost – who sets out on a journey home.

Few days ago, Deadline announced that British actor, Spike Fearns, has been added to its cast.

A feature film and short film with Cate will screen at Festival du Nouveau Cinema in Montreal:

FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER by Jim Jarmusch; tickets here
