This poignant drama is filled with the heartaches of a mother's love for a daughter who returns her love, but seeks her own happiness.
Too Much: Melodrama on Film
Running from October - December 2025, Too Much: Melodrama on Film is a UK wide programme supported by BFI and BFI FAN which celebrates the visual excess and dramatic potency of a form of cinema which champions emotional intensity over propriety and ‘good taste’. This autumn, we're presenting live events and classic titles, to make you swoon, weep and make a scene!
