Set in 1990s London, THE NINTH CLOUD tells the story of Zena (Megan Maczko), who, trying to escape the grief of her family being killed in a plane crash, becomes infatuated with fellow American Bob (Michael Madsen), an enigmatic but failed poet, who has taken up residency in a Hackney squat. Searching for hope through Bob’s weird artistic visions, Zena sexually and emotionally collides with an array of angst-ridden IT girls and debauched men including Brett, a narcissistic socialite (Leo Gregory), and Jonny, a drink-drowning musician (Jean- Hugues Anglade). But it is to the unattainable Bob that Zena is fatally drawn to…

The Ninth Cloud has been on my ‘radar’ for a while now, having picked up on the films existence due to one of my favourite UK actors (Leo Gregory) being in the cast list, and whilst its taken a while for the film to be available in our homes, all good things come to those who wait and I cant wait to see the film.

To celebrate the release there is a special screening at the Prince Charles Cinema on Mon 12 February, with cast and crew present, hosted by Eye For Film’s Anton Bitel.

Director Jane Spencer said: “I am absolutely thrilled that THE NINTH CLOUD is finally being released in its home. We shot the film in London and, although it has an international cast it carries a very British sensibility, inspired by some of the UK’s great independent films”.

THE NINTH CLOUD, Jane Spencer’s dark, philosophical drama, starring Michael Madsen, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Megan Maczko and Leo Gregory, is now available to download in the UK exclusively on iTunes.
