In a passionate purge of emotion, melodrama employs exaggerated staging, score and performance to create the ultimate spectacle. The stories it tells are intimate and familial, but stakes are high, and characters rarely behave rationally. They are human, after\u00a0all.<\/p>\n<p>Despite (or because of) its popularity, melodrama has repeatedly been dismissed by critics. They find sincerity confronting, a lack of restraint distasteful. As women through the ages have been told: it\u2019s not right to be so\u00a0hysterical.<\/p>\n<p>The rare cinematic form concerned with women\u2019s inner lives, these films span infidelity, motherhood and exploitation to capture our hearts and evoke our empathy. The legacy of early \u2018women\u2019s pictures\u2019, created for female audiences with their favourite female stars, echoes across generations and around the world. As in life, these women do not always triumph. Imperfectly feminist yet endlessly relatable, their sensationalist struggles carry searing social commentary beneath their glossy\u00a0veneer.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming months we will embrace the vivid visual language and heightened dramatics of melodrama, inviting you to leave your cynicism at the door and feel\u00a0something.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget your\u00a0tissues.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"spaceBlock text style01\" >\n\t<div class=\"innerPadding\">\n\t\t<div class=\"widthContainer wide\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"embed-fallback__wrapper embed-fallback-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Too Much: Melodrama On Film season trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kFDN6iOzNGY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-fallback\">\n<div class=\"embed-fallback__content\">\n<h2 class=\"embed-fallback__title\">Too Much: Melodrama On Film season trailer<\/h2>\n<p>This video is provided by YouTube who set their own cookies.
