BFF25: Moss & Freud
Book Tickets
Synopsis
Australian Premiere
Moss & Freud invites audiences into a rare and electric dialogue between two British icons: supermodel Kate Moss (Ellie Bamber) and master painter Lucian Freud (Derek Jacobi). Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker James Lucas, this lyrical biopic captures the extraordinary nine months in 2002 when an already world-famous Moss becomes Freud’s muse, baring far more than just skin.
The couple's collaboration emerges from curiosity and audacity: Freud, long skeptical of celebrity culture, agrees to paint her nude. Over the course of long, nocturnal sessions in his London studio, the two forge a bond that transcends art and challenges them both.
While Bamber plays Moss with striking vulnerability and defiance, Jacobi brings gravitas and enigmatic force to Freud. Yet Moss & Freud is not simply the portrait of artist and subject—it is a meditation on identity, intimacy, and the transformative power of creation. With lush period detail, emotional immediacy, and the sensibilities of two creative giants colliding, the film promises a hypnotic journey into revelation and a portrait of an icon reborn.
