In her latest role in 'The Salt Path,' adapted from Raynor Winn's memoir, Gillian Anderson sheds her polished personas to portray a woman facing profound hardship. Following a devastating series of events in 2013, including debts and homelessness, Winn embarks on a transformative 630-mile trek along England's South West Coast Path with her husband. The film vividly illustrates their struggles, including scenes of desperation like losing possessions in a storm, offering Anderson a chance to explore vulnerability, deviating from her usual strong-women roles.
Winn's response to a double catastrophe in her life in 2013 was to embark on the lengthy South West Coast Path walk with her husband, Moth.
It's a far cry from Agent Scully in The X-Files. This role in The Salt Path shows Gillian Anderson in a vulnerable and raw light, emphasizing her versatility.
A typical day begins with her peeing in the undergrowth. Anderson's portrayal of Winn is a stark contrast to her powerful, well-dressed roles, representing a more fragile existence.
The film's opening scene depicts the couple's tent being flooded during a King Lear-level storm, marking the start of their transformative journey and challenges.
