Little Joe

British thespian Emily Beecham won the Best Actress award at Cannes for her uncanny performance in this satirical and stylised sci-fi. With its sterile sets and sinister lighting and sound design, Little Joe is a profoundly cinematic examination of what happens when you try to alter, or enhance our brain chemistry.
