VIDEO: Elisabeth Moss Stars in New Drama QUEEN OF EARTH, Hitting Theaters Today

IFC Films presents QUEEN OF EARTH, a film by Alex Ross Perry, starring Elisabeth Moss (Broadway's HEIDI CHRONICLES) and Katherine Waterston. The film will release in New York today, August 26th, with a national rollout to follow.

Catherine (Elisabeth Moss) has entered a particularly dark period in her life: her father, a famous artist whose affairs she managed, has recently died, and on the heels of his death she's dumped by her boyfriend James (Kentucker Audley). Looking to recuperate, Catherine heads out to her best friend Virginia's (Katherine Waterston) lake house for some much needed relaxation.

However, once Catherine arrives relaxation proves impossible to find, as she is overcome with memories of time spent at the same house with James the year before. As Catherine reaches out to VIRGINIA with attempts at connection, VIRGINIA begins spending increasing amounts of time with a local love interest, Rich (Patrick Fugit), and fissures in the relationship between the two women begin to appear, sending Catherine into a downward spiral of delusion and madness.

A bracing, eerie look at the deep bonds of friendship and the horrific effects of such bonds being frayed, Queen of Earth is a thrilling examination of a deeply complex relationship between two miserable women.
