LADY NAZCA TRAILER
FOR NEW PERIOD SET MOVIE DRAMA
Four years ago I told you that Paula Beer will lead the English language biopic LADY NAZCA about German mathematician Maria Reiche
who pioneered research into Peru’s mysterious Nazca lines in the 1940s, and then fought
for their preservation throughout her life. But Beer was replaced by Empress star Devrim Lingnau and the film is playing in cinemas in France and Germany this Autumn. The Nazca lines, a 50
square km area in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru, are a mysterious
group of geoglyphs, forming geometric designs and the shapes of birds
and animals when viewed from the sky.
Reiche first moved to Peru in the 1930s to work as a governess after
studying mathematics and languages at university in
her native city of
Dresden. She became fascinated by the lines after a trip to the Nazca
Desert in the early 1940s and made it her life’s mission to research
their meaning and protect them. This passion brought with it trouble and
danger but also give her a sense of peace. Guillaume Gallienne plays her
co-archaeologist Paul Kosok in the Damien Dorsaz helmed movie.
