A striking cinematic close-up of a younger woman with wet blonde hair and piercing blue eyes staring at herself in the mirror. The image features dramatic lighting with warm, golden tones illuminating the subject's face against a darker background. The composition creates an intimate, contemplative mood with the direct gaze toward the camera.

About The Chronology Of Water

Based on writer and educator Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoirs, Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut is an uncompromising depiction of love, trauma and artistic self-expression.

A journey through the sensuous and the sensual, Stewart’s film chronicles Yuknavitch’s life as she experiences and processes childhood abuse, first love, addiction and grief. Led by a raw and magnetic performance from Imogen Poots, The Chronology of Water confirms Stewart as one of this generation’s great talents – both in front of the camera and behind it.

  1. We see a collection of cartoon animals in a staged pose - a fox in a tie and pink shirt with a sly grin on his face, a large blue snake with a huge smile on its face and a cheery bunny rabbit wearing human clothes. They all stare at the camera smiling and are standing on the edge of what looks like a wooden dock, with a pile or rope on the right hand side of the image.

  2. A smiling Spongebob looks to his right, a pirate hat on his head. Patrick the star fish stands next to him looking to his left and smiling. He's wearing an eye patch and a hook on his head. They are aboard the Flying Dutchman - a ghostly green ship that glows in the dark.

  3. The focal point of the image is a large 18th-century portrait painting showing a well-dressed gentleman in period attire (powdered wig, ornate coat) holding what appear to be dead game birds - likely a hunting trophy portrait common among aristocracy of that era. The painting demonstrates the baroque or rococo style typical of European portraiture from that period. In the museum space, a man in contemporary casual clothing (dark sweater, light pants) stands looking at the painting, creating an interesting juxtaposition between past and present. In the background, another visitor can be seen viewing other artworks on the gallery walls.
