Shoshana is a 2023 British biographical thriller film directed by Michael Winterbottom.

The film is set in 1930s/1940s British Mandatory Palestine and follows the tragic love story of Shoshana Borochov (Irina Starshenbaum), daughter of one of the founders of socialist Zionism, and British police officer Tom Wilkin (Douglas Booth),[1] while Wilkin and fellow police officer Geoffrey J. Morton (Harry Melling)[2] hunt for Zionist militant Avraham Stern (Aury Alby).[3]

Cast

Production

Winterbottom developed the film for many years. In 2010, Jim Sturgess, Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen were announced as its stars. While the film never entered production in 2010, Winterbottom did shoot documentary footage in Israel at the time with surviving participants in the events.[4]

Filming began in October 2021 in the town of Ostuni in Italy, which doubled for Tel Aviv.[5]

The screenplay was written by Winterbottom, Laurence Coriat and Paul Viragh.[6]

Release

The film had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.[6] It was released by Altitude Film Distribution on 23 February 2024 in the UK.[7] It will be released in the US by Greenwich Entertainment later in 2024.[8]
