Queen Kelly
“The silent film masterpiece that never was... Until now.”
DramaRomance
A convent girl is abducted and seduced by a prince before being sent off to a brothel in East Africa.
VIBE
A lavish, dreamlike descent into tragic romance. Its operatic visuals and melancholic mood evoke a sense of opulent despair, where innocence clashes with a decadent, unforgiving world. A visually stunning, yet emotionally heavy experience.
