Brandy Burre had a recurring role on HBO’s ‘The Wire’ when she gave up her career to start a family. When she decides to reclaim her life as an actor, the domestic world she’s carefully created crumbles around her. Using elements of melodrama and cinema verité, “Actress” is both a present tense portrait of a dying relationship and an exploration of a complicated woman, performing the role of herself, in a complex-yet-familiar story.

 

ACTRESS will open 11/7 at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, followed by a national release.
